Should I bring anything to the doctor?

[Zeitgeist]

Well, I have an appointment with the doctor tommorow [ a week later i have one with derma ] anyway, I want to get prescibed either Propecia or Proscar, I am wondering if there is any literture I can bring with me to help convince him if he is not very sure of the side-effects, etc

Thanks

you might want to give the doctor a list of internet links that they could read thru? A blood test might be handy, because hair condition and shedding can be related to health issues, and the doctor/dermatologist maybe be able to use the information regarding your hairloss with the blood test results.

I think that telling him you have done research should convince him. Just be confident. If you are sure you know what you are on about then it should be OK.

He should have a book where he can look up the two drugs. He is a fool if he will not prescribe Proscar.

Bring a copy of the propecia package insert:

Did you not ask for Proscar, it would have been cheaper for you??
