What happens after you have taken avodart for 6 months (or a year) and
then stop? Does the prostrate just grow right back?

Has anyone had experience with taking avodart for a year or so and
then stopped taking it and what happened?

Or is this the kind of medication that you have to stay on for life?

It's supposed to shrink the prostate (one of its side effects is
reversing hair loss). It is supposedly related to Avacor, which is a
hair restorer.
I had been taking it for a couple of years and recently quit.
I think the only thing that it did for me was maybe preventing the
prostate from getting larger. I still got up in the middle of the night
to make a bathroom trip. My hair didn't grow back either, but maybe it
slowed the hair loss process.
