What can i do to prevent hair loss? rogaine (minoxidil) is 1 option, but it doesn't protect the front area. is there nothing better than rogaine (minoxidil) in 2012?!

Propecia (finasteride): Propecia (finasteride) is a medication you can take to prevent hair loss. You will need to visit your doctor as it is prescription only to see if it is right for you.
