Propecia and Proscar (used for BPH) are the same medicine, and I think, if I recall correctly that they discovered its effect on hair when patients were using it for BPH. Side effects CAN occur, but they are not GUARANTEED to occur. It varies from person to person as do many drugs. If someone equated baldness to a different disease and thought that the risks outweigh the benefits then why not use the medicine?I am also going bald. I just get bigger kippas! But thats only for one type of baldness that starts from the middle. If you are starting to bald from the hairline then the kippa method wont really work as well See here for different patterns: http://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S0090429598001083-gr1.gif-that comes from a research article on Science Direct
lol thats an awesome picture!! is that medication over the counter stuff? also is oral or pills?
"There are things that may help but they have side effects so it may not be worth it" is not the same thing as saying "Guys, man up! It's part of life. Who cares"
