Propecia

Propecia Description

Propecia® (finasteride) is manufactured by Merck Sharp & Dohme. Propecia is the only oral medication that has been medically proven to stop hair loss and male pattern baldness and enable new hair growth in men. Propecia works by blocking or reducing levels of the hormone DHT in the body. When levels of DHT are high, the hair follicles on your head shrink until they can no longer grow. By taking Propecia on a daily basis you can stop hair loss and promote new hair growth in as little as 3 months.

Propecia Effectiveness

A five year clinical study has demonstrated the following facts about Propecia:

• 9 out of 10 men on Propecia had visible results (either hair re-growth or no further hair loss) according to an independent panel of dermatologists;
• 2 out of 3 men re-grew hair as measured by hair count; and
• A majority of men were rated as improved by doctors - 77% against 15% on a placebo.

Propecia is a prescription medication so you must complete a consultation form before you can purchase Propecia. This is the only way of purchasing genuine Propecia in the UK.

How to use Propecia

Propecia can be taken with or without meals. The normal recommended dose for men diagnosed with male pattern hair loss is one 1mg tablet a day. If you cease taking Propecia, any hair loss that you experienced before commencing treatment is likely to resume.

Potential Side Effects of Propecia

Propecia may cause side effects in some patients. In clinical studies, side effects with Propecia were uncommon and did not affect most men. A very small percentage of men experienced certain sexual side effects, such as decreased sex drive and/or difficulty achieving erections. These side effects occurred in less than 2% of men and were reversible once treatment was stopped.

Propecia Precautions

If a woman who is pregnant with a male foetus absorbs the active ingredient in Propecia, either by swallowing it or through the skin, it may cause abnormal development of the baby's sex organs. Any woman who is pregnant and comes into contact with the active ingredient in PROPECIA should consult with her doctor immediately. PROPECIA tablets are coated and will prevent contact with the active ingredient during normal handling, provided that the tablets are not broken or crushed.
