A member asked:
Is propecia (finasteride) good for a receding hairline?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but beware: Propecia (finasteride) can halt a receding hairline, and it can thicken thinned areas of the scalp. However, some patients experience some minor problems with sexual function. Some doctors believe spreading the dosage out to every other day alleviates these issues.
