I began taking Propecia (finasteride) a little over 6 months ago and my hair shedding seemed to slow down significantly within the first month, but has increased again over the past two months. Is this normal? Will the shedding slow down again?

Even though finasteride has a high success rate in treating male pattern baldness, unfortunately, it’s impossible to predict whether or not your hair loss will slow down again or stop.  However, in my experience, it is best to give Propecia at least one full year before making a determination as to whether or not it is effectively treating your baldness.
