Propecia and Hair Loss [posted 7/22/98]
Question: Does propecia cause peripheral and facial hair loss?

Answer: Propecia has been around a while in a drug called Proscar. Now, it is being relabeled as a possible way for some men to grow hair. Hair loss is not listed as a problem in the PDR and I haven't seen it with my patients taking the drug.
