PROPECIA works
Without wanting to make advertising for the pharmaceutical industry here, but I can only say that I was damn glad when propecia came on the market for about 11 years ago. I was 20 at the beginning and already easy to unsettle, since the onset of baldness gave me the rest. Today, I would like to have more hair than it was then, and may complain does not have a restricted libido or any other health consequences. I have the money for me best investiert-also if I today better klarkäme with the bald head. But why should I when I have the choice?
