Are you too young for Propecia?
Some younger men who are experiencing the signs of hair loss wonder if Propecia is right for them. The major concern for men aged 18 – 21 is whether Propecia will impact the remainder of their physical growth.
The different studies on Propecia and hair loss in general is that DHT is not a factor in bone density or muscle mass, thus DHT is not related to growth. However, research has not been specifically conducted to find the minimum age threshold that is right for Propecia. A good rule of thumb is that if you are still in puberty, Propecia is not right for you. However, if you have finished the vast majority of your growing, then you may want to consider using Propecia. The earlier you begin using Propecia to treat the signs of hairless, the better the results will be at maintaining your hairline and fullness.
If you are considered about your age and Propecia, you may want to consider beginning with a half dose of Propecia first, which would be .5 mg. You can purchase a pill cutter at the pharmacy and simply halve the Propecia tablet. Many older users of Propecia only take .5 mg and find it effective, and thus, it may be something you should consider if your youth is a concern.
