I have been using it for about 2 years and about 6 months ago, I had a some shedding for about 4-5 weeks (visble in the shower drain), but it stopped and have not seen anything recently. Overall, I don't observe any hairloss, so I think it may have just been shedding and mostly replaced with new hairs. Not sure. I was on a .5 mg dose for about 22 months and just recently when to quartered proscar which is 1.25 mg, so hopefully that will help. I am looking at Avodart, but it looks very expensive (for the time being).

I have been using Procepia for about 2 years. Initially I was buying the 1 mg tabs from New Zealand pharmacies (go to to get the links under the commercial pharmecies link). I would cut the 1 mg tabs in half for .5 MG dose and did that for the last 2 years. About 1 month ago I started buying Proscar instead which is a lot cheaper. I get 30 5 MG tabs for $90 and quarter them with a pill cutter. This is effectively a 4 month supply for $22.50 per month. Using it has definitely slowed, maybe even stopped my hair loss. Im a Norwood 3-4 (all frontal loss, no crown loss). I have not noticed any significant regrowth. Although, now that I'm on 1.25 MG dose (from quartering a 5 MG Proscar tab), I may see better results. Overall, I would definitely recommend any newbies doing a lot of research. The best sites I've found for research are this site and two others: I am looking at getting a transplant in a couple months.
