I’ve been using Propecia for approximately 7 years with great results. When I first started using it I had quite a bit of hair come back, and have maintained everything since. Just recently I have experienced what seems to be more than normal shedding, but I have yet to notice any visible change.
The only change that I can think of is that my doctor has recommended I take Ibuprofen due to something similar to carpal tunnel syndrome (600mg, twice a day). I’ve taken Ibuprofen for other reasons before, but just not as much and with the same frequency. Could this be causing the problem, or is it likely to be something else?
Yes, ibuprofen can cause hair loss. I would doubt that the Propecia will help you for the ibuprofen effect. For more on hair loss and ibuprofen, see American Osteopathic College of Dermatology – Telogen Effluvium Hair Loss.
