Q: I am suffering from male patterned baldness. I used Propecia a couple of months ago but had the sexual side effects from it so I stopped. I’ve recently gone back to using Propecia but I was just wondering how I avoid the side effects. Can Propecia be used every other day and still be effective. Also, do the side effects disappear if I continue to use it and how long does it take?
A: Yes, on both accounts. Alternate day therapy may decrease the side effects and still be effective in treating hair loss. The sexual side effects usually take a week or two to disappear after stopping the medication.
