If I start using Propecia or Dutasteride will I always have to take it?
You can stop taking it whenever you decide to do so. Propecia is not addictive or habit forming except in the same sense that a woman’s make-up is addictive. A woman who starts using makeup grows accustomed to the improvement in her appearance, and is very reluctant to stop using her makeup. Similarly, men who use Propecia are very reluctant to stop using it, because they recognize the great difference that it makes in their appearance.
