Losing your hair? Try Propecia.

Propecia is for men only and is used to treat male pattern hair loss on the top and middle of the head. It helps regrow visible hair and reduces further hair loss.

Taken once a day, Propecia blocks the formation of DHT in your scalp. Lowering DHT seems to halt the further shrinking of affected hair follicles. In men with a family history of hair loss, DHT is believed to contribute to the progressive shrinking of hair follicles and a decrease in the number of visible hairs.

An expert panel of dermatologists determined that 90% (251 out of 279) of men on the medication for 5 years had improvement or no visible hair loss vs 25% (4 out of 16) on placebo.

The effectiveness of Propecia was demonstrated in studies of men, aged 18 to 41, with mild to moderate hair loss at the top and middle front of the head. There is not enough evidence that it works for receding hairlines at the temples.

Propecia will help produce thicker, natural-looking hair. Results may be seen in as little as 3 months. Propecia needs to be taken for as long as you want to grow or maintain your hair. If you stop taking it you may lose the hair within 12 months. If you do not see results within 12 months further treatment is unlikely to help.

Who can not use Propecia?

Women who are or may become pregnant must not use Propecia and should not handle crushed or broken tablets because the active ingredient may cause abnormalities in a male baby's sex organs. If a woman who is pregnant comes into contact with the active ingredient in Propecia, a doctor should be consulted. The tablets are coated and will prevent contact with the active ingredient during normal handling, provided that the tablets are not broken or crushed.

Does Propecia have any side effects?

The following side effects have been reported while taking Propecia:

• allergic reactions including rash, itching, hives, and swelling of the lips and face
• problems with ejaculation
• breast tenderness and enlargement (tell your doctor right away about any changes in your breasts such as lumps, pain, or nipple discharge)
• testicular pain

A small number of men experienced sexual side effects. These included less desire for sex, difficulty in achieving an erection, and a decrease in the amount of semen.
