Stop Propecia (finasteride): Seek a consultation with a dermatologist that specializes in hair restoration and all its options. They will be able to explain the topical, medical and surgical options that will fit your husband's needs. Current techniques combining use of topical rogaine (minoxidil) plus grafting of individual hair units often is the best option.
