Clinical Results Propecia (Finasteride)

The longest controlled clinical trial of a hair loss treatment ever reported showed that men who took Propecia (Finasteride 1 mg) compared to men who took a placebo had a considerable difference in their hair counts after five years. Clinical trials conducted on thousands of men have shown that after 2 years of use 66% of men showed increased hair growth. 30% of men showed a slight improvement, 31% moderate improvement and 5% great increase. 83% of men in the trial showed no further hair loss.

Propecia is most effective in stimulating hair regrowth over the crown of the scalp. It is less effective in stimulating regrowth at the front of the scalp, where hair loss is commonly called a receding hairline.

Finasteride works best in younger men and in those whose hair loss is moderate and recent.
