A newbie's question regarding proscar/propecia!!! Please re

[shandoli]

Hi folks.....I have just registered with the forum after reading for a couple of weeks!!

OK....so heres my story!!.....i am 19 and have baldness in my family....Right now, i would say my hair is fairly ok...I think it wud be a couple of years before i start to loose a significant amount which wud cause problems!!

but PREVENTION IS BETTER THEN CURE!!.....so i got out and got some info....seems like Proscar/propecia is the way to go....but i have read about shedding once you start taking these pills.....this kinda worries me...does the shedding happens to anyone....will it be sensible for me to take these pills even though i havent yet started to bald....or should i wait till i have my hair falling?

only real worry for me is the shedding...is the shedding that happens happens cos it wud have happened anyway or does it happen specifically cos of the tablets..and how bad is the shedding?

thankx in advance for everyones replies...and
one more thing

can i get proscar in the uk without prescription and if yes,, wheres the cheapest?

regards

are you losing your hair or not?

You dont have to have a bald spot, just a thinning of the hair shafts, to know your MBP has kicked in.

If you have active MBP, it is never too early to start. But if you are not losing any hair, do NOT use these treatments. Using them prematurely will not help and may interefere with their effectiveness when you actually need it. Dont worry about it, losing a bit of hair is no big deal. If you watch closely, it will be obvious to you before anyone has the slightest idea youre losing it
