The timeline for PROPECIA: What you may see and when

	Start of treatment: From Day 1 PROPECIA begins to lower DHT, a substance found in your body that is believed to contribute to hair loss.
	At 3 months: You may see decreased hair loss.
	At 6 months: You may see new hair growth.
	At 12 months: By now you should know if PROPECIA is working for you. If PROPECIA is working, you should be maintaining the hair you have and may even be growing back some of the hair you have lost. If the drug has not worked within 12 months, further treatment is not likely to help.
	At 5 years: Most men (2 out of 3) on PROPECIA increased the number of hairs on their head. All the men on placebo (sugar pill) lost hair.

Women who are or may potentially be pregnant must not use PROPECIA and should not handle crushed or broken PROPECIA tablets because the active ingredient may cause abnormalities of a male baby’s sex organs. If a woman who is pregnant comes into contact with the active ingredient in PROPECIA, a doctor should be consulted. PROPECIA tablets are coated and will prevent contact with the active ingredient during normal handling, provided that the tablets are not broken or crushed.

Consistent daily use is essential for success. If you stop treatment, any hair you have gained will generally be lost within 12 months.
