As you have probably seen, there are conflicting reports on the effectiveness and/or danger of using propecia. Propecia or finasteride was actually first prescribed for prostate problems, and not for male pattern hair loss. Fortunately, the ability of propecia to alter levels of testosterone in the blood for treatment of prostate was also found to be effective in stopping the progression of androgenetic alopecia, which is believed to be brought about by changes in hormones.
How it effects people depends on how their body takes it. Some use it without any side effect. Others may experience major side effects. Fertility and ED problems are the more common serious problems associated with propecia, but only affects about 2-3% of those taking propecia.
Since it deals with hormones, stopping its use can make the body revert back to its previous state, unless drastic changes were made or the medication resulted in a serious problem.
If you plan to take propecia, I suggest going first to a doctor to make sure that you need it, and if ever you do, what dosage. Not all hair loss can be treated. It is best to check with your doctor.
Hope this helps.
