# What are the side effects of hair loss medication?

Treating hair loss requires time and consistency.

Because hair grows slowly, you will not see results overnight. Most men need to take their daily medication for at least three to six months before they notice a visible slowing of hair loss or new regrowth.

Maximum results are usually seen after twelve months of continuous use.

If you stop taking the medication, any new hair you have gained will likely be lost within nine to twelve months, so long term commitment is essential for maintaining your progress.
