A 5-year clinical study demonstrated the effectiveness of PROPECIA.

• 9 of 10 men on PROPECIA had visible results (either regrowth of hair, 48% [134 of 279], or no further hair loss, 42% [117 of 279]) vs 25% (4 of 16) on placebo (sugar pill), according to an assessment of photographs by an independent panel of dermatologists.
• 2 of 3 men who took PROPECIA regrew hair, as measured by hair count. All the men in the study who were not taking PROPECIA lost hair.
• A majority of men who took PROPECIA were rated as improved by doctors—77% (210 of 271) vs 15% (2 of 13) with placebo.
• A majority of men who took PROPECIA reported their bald spot getting smaller, their hair loss slowing down, and the appearance of their hair improving.

What’s more, in the first year of the study, 86% (587 of 679) of men who took PROPECIA maintained hair or increased the number of visible hairs vs 42% (282 of 672) who took placebo.

PROPECIA is for MEN ONLY.

Further treatment is unlikely to help if the drug has not worked within 12 months. If you stop taking PROPECIA, you will likely lose the hair you have gained within 12 months of stopping treatment.
