Finasteride for Teenagers

I`m only 19 and losing my hair. What are the chances I can get a Prescription called in for Finasteride? I`m worried about the effects it could have on my body, I`m still developing although looking at my hair you`d think I`ve reached 40. Neither of my parents or siblings have lost their hair, so why me? It sucks!

Your hair loss Gene may have skipped a generation or two before re - emerging in you, it is unfortunate you are the one on the receiving end. How far has your hair loss progressed?

Finasteride. I do not think there are issue`s with a persons growth, development and maturity. There are known side effects such as loss of Libido, brain fog, depression, dry mouth amongst others. You should see your family doctor for advice and research the possible sides you may experience with Finasteride. Remember it is a life long commitment if you want to retain your hair unless some new cure or treatment arrives.

My crown is beginning to look like a Monks hair cut which from behind makes me look like an old guy. Loss of sex drive does not concern me at this moment in time, maybe in the future it could. All I want is to look my age and enjoy my youth which I`m struggling to do right now.

Do you think I could get a prescription for Finasteride? Maybe I`m better off purchasing online.

You should consult with your family doctor first, get his advice and then decide.

Hi casey it shouldn't be a problem getting a prescription! It depends what country your in for example in Spain you can buy it over the counter.
My advice is get yourself some nizoral shampoo, saw palmetto rogaine foam and biotin.
See how that works however it may take a few months to show!
All the best

Some people claim saw palmetto works for them, it's a natural supplement and very cheap to buy so I see no harm in trying it.
