Propecia contains a medicine called finasteride. This belongs to a group of medicinescalled Type II ‘5-alpha reductase inhibitors’.
Propecia is used for the treatment of male pattern hair loss (also known as androgeneticalopecia). Propecia increases hair growth on the scalp and prevents further hair loss inmen. Men with mild to moderate, but not complete hair loss, can benefit from usingPropecia.
How does the hair on your head grow?On average your hair grows about 1 centimetre (half an inch) each month. Hair growsfrom hair follicles, which are located under your skin.
A single scalp hair grows continuously for 2-4 years (growth phase) and then stopsgrowing for 2-4 months (rest phase). After this the hair falls out. In its place a newhealthy hair begins to grow, and the cycle is repeated. The hairs on your scalp arealways in different stages of this cycle so it is normal to lose scalp hair every day.
What is male pattern hair loss?
Male pattern hair loss is a common condition in which men experience thinning of thehair on the scalp, often resulting in a receding hairline and/or balding on the top of thehead. This condition is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic factors and aparticular hormone, DHT (dihydrotestosterone).
DHT causes a decrease in the growth phase and thinning of the hair (see picture). Thisleads to male pattern hair loss. These changes can start to occur in some men in their20s and become more common with age. Once hair loss has occurred over a longperiod of time, the hair may be permanently lost.

What is Finasteride (Propecia)?
Finasteride (Propecia) is a medication primarily prescribed to treat male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) and is available over-the-counter as an oral tablet. It works by inhibiting the enzyme that converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that causes hair loss. While Finasteride (Propecia) is primarily used to treat male pattern baldness, it can also be used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition in which the prostate gland enlarges, leading to urinary issues. The benefits of Finasteride (Propecia) include:
How does Finasteride (Propecia) work?
Finasteride (Propecia) works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which is responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that causes hair loss. By lowering DHT levels in the body, Finasteride (Propecia) helps shrink the hair follicles and improves hair growth, ultimately leading to hair regrowth and thicker hair. While it may seem like a small price to pay for the benefits of Finasteride (Propecia), it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.

How does Finasteride (Propecia) works?
Stop taking Finasteride 1 mg Tablets and immediately contact a doctor if you have any of the following experience:
Uncommon (may affect up to 1 in 100 people):-
Not known: frequency
In some cases, sexual dysfunction and psychiatric side effects have persisted in patients even after they have stopped taking finasteride.
Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not handle broken or crushed finasteride tablets. If finasteride is absorbed through the skin or taken by mouth by a woman pregnant with a male foetus, the child may be born with malformed genital organs. The tablets are film-coated, which prevents contact with finasteride provided the tablets are not broken or crushed.

os-propecia-topiHi, I have been taking Finasteride Tablets since the age of 12. When I started taking this drug I developed some side effects including hair loss, nausea, diarrhoea, and weight gain. I started taking it again, this time in June, but this time it continued until September, with no side effects. I am worried that my hair loss may continue or even worsen. I have been prescribed Finasteride 1 mg Tablets for the past two months and am having a terrible headache. I am not sure if it is the medication or something else but am worried. I am also on the 1 mg tablet and was wondering if I am experiencing any side effects that I can't control. I am worried that my hair loss is getting worse. Any help would be great! Thank you.
Caroline kleinHello, I’m not sure if the medication works or not but the side effects are quite common. The most common side effects are hair loss, dizziness, mood changes, nausea and stomach pain. Finasteride can cause these symptoms if taken at the same time each day. In my experience, these side effects usually subside within a few days to a couple of weeks. Some people may experience more serious side effects if they take it at the same time. You may also experience more serious side effects if you take it at the same time each day. I would consult a doctor if you have any side effects that concern you.
Hi, I’m new to this stuff. I was prescribed Finasteride 1 mg Tablets for hair loss, and I noticed some hair loss in my scalp. I have been on the 1 mg tablet for 3 months now, and I can’t stop it. I’ve noticed that it has not affected my hair growth, but it could affect my scalp if taken long term. Is there anything else I need to work out? Thanks!
Deborah J. Cappration1. The importance of a hair-loss prescription as an adjunct to a prescription for a medical condition is controversial.
While some of the most common drugs prescribed for hair loss, such as finasteride (Propecia), minoxidil (Rogaine) and minoxidil/finasteride (Propecia) are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for hair loss, the FDA has required manufacturers of these drugs to have their own websites. They do not have to provide a prescription for these medications.
The FDA's decision to allow the sale of these products in the United States has been criticized for being inconsistent with federal safety standards for these drugs.
But the problem has been solved. In 2013, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a drug calledHirsutism, for which generic versions of the drug are still on the market. The drug's manufacturer, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, has decided to sell its own generic version of the drug for $2.50 per month (in the U. S.), while the FDA's approval of, for which generic versions of the drug are still on the market, is limited by the FDA's lack of transparency in the generic drug formulary.
The FDA has previously been criticized for not being clear on whether the drug is covered by the generic drug formulary.
The drug is still available on prescription in most U. pharmacies. The FDA has also recently approved, a drug for hair loss, but it has not been approved by the FDA in the U. S., and it is not available in most U.
In addition to the FDA's decision to allow the sale of these drugs, the FDA has also been criticized for not requiring a prescription for the medication.
The FDA has also previously been criticized for not requiring a prescription for the medication. The FDA has twice rejected a request for a generic version of the drug, saying that the generic version is not covered by the FDA.

The medicine contains the active ingredient finasteride.
Propecia works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that is involved in the miniaturization of hair follicles. DHT causes the hair to shrink, causing hair follicles to shrink. This can cause thinning of the hair, which is the result of the miniaturization of hair follicles, and the hair loss usually stops at some point in your lifetime.
