My friend who had been on Propecia for years complains of sudden/massive hair loss after he discontinued it. So which is the next best alternative?

Hi jonjon71,

This link has not really been determined! If you look at the research properly you can see that they did not account for the fact that detection of high grade prostate cancer is aided by finasteride treatment as it shrinks the prostate. We still do not know if there is a link!?

Some recent reviews claiming no link....

Absolutely. In my case, Propecia saved the hairline as well.

Hello everyone --
This is my first posting, and I'm hoping you guys can give me some guidance. I'm 35 years old, and my hair has started thinning notably over the last three months. The hairline is starting to move back pretty fast, and I am not too happy. My dermatologist gave me a prescription for Propecia, but I have very mixed feelings about using it. Prostate cancer runs in my family, and there's a high probability that I will get it. Although Propecia/Proscar is thought to reduce the overall risk of prostate cancer, it actually increases the risk of developing a high-grade prostate cancer in those people who go on to get the disease. I do not want to take this risk. I see all sorts of reports (good and bad) about supplements like Procerin, Follicare, Hair Genesis, etc., and I don't know what to believe. Are there any other options when Propecia is not possible? Any advice will be most appreciated! Thanks!
I can feel your pain. I'm also 35 and I don't like the side effects they give also. I don't want to get in trouble here but I have been using a product from this website and I have seen nice results with it.

Take a look here www.provillushairgrow.com

Its a all natrual hair product so it will not have all the bad side effects. Good luck
