Transcript | -f- HOUSTON VOICE • APRIL 28, 2000 13 , We make lots of decisions together. But some choices I make for me. That's why I use PROPECIA. PROPECIA is the first and only FDA-approved pilf proven to treat male pattern hair loss on the vertex (top of the head) and anterior mid-scalp area in men. THE NUMBERS The fact is, for most men, PROPECIA works. The results of 2 years of testing speak for themselves * * 5 out ol 6 men kepi the amount of hair they had (vs. 28% with a sugar pill) • 2 out of 3 men grew back some of their lost hair (vs. 7% with a sugar pill) Most men reported an increase in the amount of hair, a decrease in hair loss, and improvement in appearance. And the vast majority of men on PROPECIA were rated as improved by doctors (80% vs. 47% with a sugar pill). "Based on vertex studies at 2 years of men 18 to 41 with mild to moderate hair loss. There is not evidence that PROPECIA works for receding hairlines at the temples. THE MOST COMMON SIDE EFFECTS Clinical tests showed PROPECIA was very well tolerated Only a very small number of men had some sexual side effects, with each occurring in less lhan 2% of men. They included less desire for sex, difficulty in achevmg an erection, and a decrease in ihe amounl ol semen When the men who had these side effects stopped taking PROPECIA. the side effects went away. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION YOU SHOULD KNOW PROPECIA is for men wily. Women who are or may potentially be pregnant must not use PROPECIA because of the risk that the active ingredient may cause a specific kind of birth defect (See accompanying Patient Product Information for details) Likewise, they should avoid handling the tablets when they're crushed or broken. PROPECIA tablets are coated and will prevent contact with the active ingredient during normal handling. WHEN YOU COULD SEE RESULTS Take PROPECIA daily and you could see results in as little as three months. If you stop taking it, however, your results will gradually go away over twelve months. And if it hasn't worked in twelve months, it is unlikely to be of benefit. For more information, call 1-888-806-3725 or visit our website at www.propecia.com/info. PROPECIA is available by prescription only, so the best thing to do is talk to your doctor Know the facts. Many men do, which is probably why Over 30,000 prescriptions lor PROPECIA are filled each week.** Please read the next page for additional information about PROPECIA "Weekly prewrpOon data, Ol/W-S to 01/21/00, front IMS Health rMnral ("rtKnpbon A** Ale •*"■ (finasteride) Helping make hair loss history O MERCK O2000 Men* & Co, Int.
