How to tell if Propecia is working?

A general discussion about hair restoration.

Does propecia work on hair loss?

A good time to evaluate the effect of propecia is usually 1 year. Propecia has a big effect mostly on the crown and sometimes in the top area. You have stated that there is no difference or change with your hair loss, this can be as you said illusory. A shedding of 15-20 hairs every morning is normal even for people without hair loss. are you shampoo your hair every morning? if not...try to do it and you will probably experience less shedding in the morning. i recommend you to use 3 shampoos:
1.Zincon
2.selsun blue
3.Nizoral
Take them in every other day.
I will not recommend you to stop with propecia, you can loose hair during this time. either continue or switch to Avodart. I hear good things about this product from our patients, but you must know that there is not enough data about the side effects and the risks in the long term...although avodart is working all most the same as propecia.

Avodart is currently available via most pharmacies...you will need to visit your dermatologist or skin doctor for a prescription.
You can also do it online with a consultation of a doctor...example: http://www.medicalwellnesscenter.com/
