PROPECIA (PO1)

Promotes hair growth. - 28 Days Supply.

For the treatment of men with male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) to encourage hair growth and prevent further hair loss.

Propecia is currently the most effective licensed drug for treating hair loss. It slows, stops or re-grows hair in 88% of men (re-growth in 37%). The treatment needs to be used continuously for at least twelve months before it is certain it is effective although some people will see improvement long before this. The longer it is used the more effective the results as each year after the first twelve month period there continues to be a 2-3% improvement until a plateau is reached after approx five years. However 80-90% of the best achievable result is reached within the first 12-18 months.

It is known to be a very safe drug which is very unlikely to interact with any other drugs commonly taken (alcohol, antibiotics, painkillers or even "recreational drugs"). Although there are no long term studies showing serious side effects or indeed benefits, Propecia (Finasteride) has also been used very safely for twenty years as a 5mg tablet to treat Prostate disease.

It works by "blocking" the action of 5 Alpha 1 reductase which is an enzyme that makes Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) from Testosterone. Propecia is not itself a hormone. In practice, crown and vertex hair responds best, temporal hair is unlikely to re-grow. Only scalp hair responds to Propecia.
