Does your hair stop falling out after the first couple days of taking propecia (finasteride)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No not so fast: You will not see effect of Propecia (finasteride) 2 days after taking the drug. It may take few months to see har growth, even though it starts inhibiting 5 reductase which inhibit the formation of Dht which is responsible for hair loss.
