Dear Dr. Rassman, Could you talk a little bit more about what you see over long-term with results with Propecia? Let’s start with the assumption that nine of 10 patients will have not lose hair from baseline at year 5. At year 10, what percentage of patients would you say have a very noticeable decrease in hair, what percentage have a modest decrease in hair, and what percentage do not have any visible decrease in hair?

Do Younger Patients Retain More Benefits from Propecia Over the Long Term?
I have been taking propecia for a year now, I am currently twenty. Propecia has worked wonders to regrow hair all over my head, including the temples.

Propecia at the 10 Year Mark
Hi Dr Rassman I have a question regarding long term efficacy of Propecia in older men who have been using it for an extended period of time. I am in my mid fifties and have been using it for 10 years and I’m happy with the results it seems to be maintaining fairly well. However I see posts on other hair sites (by users not doctors) who say...

Is Hair Regrowth from Propecia Just a Bonus?
hey doctor, it seems everywhere (mainly hair loss forums) i read it’s saying that propecia is meant to just maintain hair and that any regrowth is an added bonus. But propecia’s website says in their 2 year study that 66% of men had visible regrowth. 2/3 sounds like the majority of people should regrow hair. furthermore the 5 year study...

Propecia Expectations for Extreme Cases
A few days ago there was a post on your blog, the question was asking the effectiveness of finasteride in the time of a year, at the end of the first paragraph of your responce you talk about how effective it is in men at a young age unless they are headed for NW3 by age 23. Why is it different for men of that extreme case and what can they expect... 
Could Propecia Cause Alzheimer’s?
Dr. Rassman,I have been on finasteride for a little over a year, and it has pretty much stopped my hair loss. Needless to say, I am a pretty big fan.

The article seems to... 
From Propecia to Avodart to Propecia… Now Losing Hair Again
Hi Doctor, Thank you for maintaining this great and informative blog and answering all our questions.
