Webcast Transcript

If you don't use it, it won't punish you. It won't cause you to lose more hair, but the hair that it did grow or it did help you hold on to you will gradually lose over several months once you stop it.

DAVID FOLK THOMAS: I'm sure it varies from patient to patient, but quickly, as we wrap up, overall, would you say Rogaine versus Propecia, one of them do you give the nod to?

PETER HALPERIN, MD: Propecia seems to be more effective in my practice, and also from the studies that have been done, so overall I would say Propecia is more effective for men with male pattern hair loss, and it seems to be in the lead at the moment.

MARC AVRAM, MD: I think they both can be effective, and I agree with what Peter said about Propecia. I think it's also an individual thing. Some people just find it a lot easier to take a pill, and some people really don't want to take a pill, so it's an individual thing, also, because the main thing with these medications is compliance. Whatever you decide to do, you have to be committed to doing it daily and for the long term.

DAVID FOLK THOMAS: Thank you both for joining us. That's all the time we have on this webcast. I hope you've learned something. I'm David Folk Thomas. We'll see you next time.
