Hey Doc Thank you in advance for such an informative sight. I found this excerpt from a web page concerning shedding from propecia. I was wondering what was your take on it as I have experienced a considerbale shed within 4 weeks of starting propecia. The hairs come from not just the balding areas but from the back and sides as well. Just curious as to your assumptions.
I have heard that in some patients, there is a period of increased shedding after starting Propecia, but this will stop within a few months in almost every one experiencing the problem. Some doctors believe that Propecia increases the cycling of hair, but I have no way to ascertain if this is the cause or not.
