Propecia, Liver Deposits, and the Harshness of Winter
December 29th, 2009 admin
Thank you Dr. Rassman for maintaining a wonderful blog and for being a generally nice guy. My history is a bit checkered: Seven Years ago I was told by Dr. Bernstein (another really nice guy by the way) that based on family history I might have diffuse pattern alopecia although only the vertex was thinning. He put me on Propecia and refused to operate till some time passed. The Propecia worked well but I had elevated liver enzymes from fatty liver deposits and stopped it … [ visit site to read more ]

Dear Dr. Rassman, I am a 32 year old male with Norwood class 3.In December beginning I had started Propecia and continued with it for 7 weeks.

I stopped taking the drug however, as I became very uneasy with it and the side effects. I am now using regain extra strength. My hairloss has returned and continued as expected. I am now seriously...

Hi Doc, I have to say, this is really nice what you’re doing in this site. My question is this… I was using minoxidil for a year and I suddenly stopped. I had hair fall immediately and now my hair is very thin. How does someone stop or taper minoxidil treatment? Currently I am on propecia medication. Do you think I’m still going...
Hello, I have been taking Propecia now for about 2 1/2 years and believe it has slowed my hair loss down but has not stopped it. In the last 6 months I have noticed significant hair loss and thinning. What can I do? Also is Avodart or any other promising drugs soon to be approved to treat hair loss by the FDA? And if so when? Thank you for your time...
Say one starts taking propecia once minor thinning is first noticed in a young male the age of 19-20. Say propecia reveres the minor thinning and maintain the hair until your 50s. Is it possible to get off of propecia at 50 since Androgen levels are at their highest in our 20s-30s? I’m a 20 year old male with my juvenile hairline but with very...
Is it true that Silibinin inhibits cytochrome P450 enzymes? I take Propecia but also make my own herbal tea from milk thistle seeds and loose horsetail, mainly for the health of my liver and to get some extra silica. If Silibinin does inhibit cytochrome P450 enzymes then is a waste of time taking propecia? Moreover, do you know of any other plants...
As the vertex eats up so many grafts, why do Dr.s try to transplant without the swirl and simply part the hair. The direction of the top could be forward and the lower half downward. I believe many men would give up the swirl for more coverage, is this possible? You are correct. The vertex (crown) ‘eats up’ many grafts. In other words,...
I have taken propecia and minoxidil for approximately 2 weeks (and have since stopped). I noticed blurred vision and believe it to be attributed to either the propecia or minoxidil, or both. My questions is if my blurred vision is associated with either product. will the blurring go away now that I have stopped. Please respond. I haven’t read...
Dear Dr. Rassman, Thank you for this informative website. I visit everyday, and my wife just gave me your book for the holidays. Unfortunately, I am one of the few who have experienced side effects with Propecia. I was orginally on 1mg per day, and then I tried 1mg every other day, and .5 every day. But everytime I had to stop. Luckily, all three...
