Abstract:Introduction: Finasteride has been the standard medical treatment for androgenetic alopecia (AGA) for over 20 years. We started AGA treatment with finasteride in 1999 in Japan, and have demonstrated 3 investigations as long-term and/or largescale studies (3,177 cases in 2.5 years, 801 cases in 5 years, 532 cases in 10 years, respectively). The objective of this study is to summarize the three investigations, and to consider it as a base for future studies over the next 20 to 30 or more years.Methods: Vertex ph… Show more
