Propecia Information for Hair Loss & Baldness Treatment:

Propecia is an oral prescription for treating hair loss and male pattern baldness. There are roughly 40 million men in the U.S. alone who suffer some form of baldness. By the age of 35, nearly 40% of men show signs of hair loss. Propecia has helped men feel more confident by regaining a younger look.

Called "the baldness pill", Propecia has shown true effectiveness against baldness while keeping the hair men already have.

How does Propecia work?

Finasteride, the active ingredient in Propecia, works to inhibit DHT (dihydrotestosterone) hormone levels in men, which directly causes male pattern baldness and hair loss. Clinical studies of Propecia for baldness have shown that 50% of men using Propecia after one year have grown new hair and 66% after two years. Propecia also prevented further baldness in 86% of men.

Researchers have found that DHT (dihydrotestosterone) hormone levels play a key role in the development of male pattern baldness. While this hormone is essential for proper genital development in male babies, DHT levels during mature ages contribute to the shortening of the hair growth phase, ultimately thinning the hair until hair is no longer grown from the follicle. Propecia works to inhibit DHT levels in the scalp and interrupting the natural progression of male pattern baldness.

How well does Propecia work?

In clinical studies done with men ages 18-41, 83% of men maintained their hair count and 63% of men had noticeable hair regrowth. 80% of the research patients were rated as improved by clinical doctors.

How should I take Propecia?

A single 1 mg pill of Propecia is taken once a day, with or without meals.

How long will it take to see results from Propecia?

In clinical studies, Propecia showed to slow if not stop hair loss within 3 months. By 6 months, men may experience hair regrowth. Hair regrowth is usually slow, growing half an inch per month. If by 12 months there is only minimal hair growth, you may want to consider discontinuing taking Propecia.

Does Propecia have side effects?

The most common Propecia side effects are a decreased sex drive, difficulty in achieving an erection and a reduction in the amount of semen. These side effects only occurred in 2% of men using Propecia. These side effects are reversible by discontinuing use of Propecia.

Who should not take Propecia?

Propecia is a medication for male hair loss only. Women and children should not take Propecia.

Does Propecia have any precautions?

Women who are pregnant or believe to be pregnant should not handle chipped or broken tablets, as it may harm the development of the genitals in male fetuses. Male children under the age of 18 similarly should not handle chipped or broken pills.
