Order Propecia

Propecia is a prescription medication used to treat male pattern baldness. This is the most common type of male hair loss, affecting 95% of all men who are suffering from hair loss. Around 25% of men will start losing their hair by the time that they are 30 and two thirds will be bald by the time that they celebrate their 60th birthday!

Male pattern baldness begins either at the crown of the head with a bald spot or at the hairline as the hair recedes. This type of hair loss appears to be hereditary and it is likely caused by dihydratestosterone, or DHT, a naturally occurring hormone. DHT shrinks hair follicles, which causes them to stop producing viable hairs.

Propecia (or finasteride to give it its technical name) stops the formation of DHT in the scalp by stopping testosterone from converting into DHT. Since DHT shrinks the hair follicles, which scientists believe causes male pattern baldness, this can stop the hair follicles from shrinking any farther. Also, Propecia seems to help some of those with existing baldness to grow back the hair that they have lost. Clinical studies have shown that the medication reduces DHT levels by around 60% in most patients.

When Propecia was in clinical trials, 90% of the men who were tested saw visible results, either in the cessation of hair loss or the re-growth of hair. Nearly half of the men in the study had visible hair re-growth as reported through self-examination. However, over 65% of the men in the study had hair re-growth when the hair was counted using a hair count per square inch measurement by healthcare professionals assisting with the clinical trial.

This medication does not work on all types of hair loss. It works only on the hair on the back of the head and in the middle of the front portion of the head. Men who are losing hair from the temples saw no significant change in their hair loss when taking Order Propecia.

Propecia works in line with the normal growth and shedding phase of hair growth. The hair-loss stops after about three months in most patients. If a patients ceases treatment after having had initial success he will find that his hair loss will revert to its former pattern within a year of stopping treatment. Finasteride is a prescription medication so if you think that it is the right answer to your hair loss problem you should make an appointment to talk to your doctor.

Finasteride should not be used by women. The medication is designed to work with the male hormone testosterone, so it has little to no effect on the hair loss women experience. Also, this medication is extremely dangerous for women who are pregnant or could become pregnant because the active ingredient in Propecia can cause birth defects in male babies. Women should not handle the tablets if they have been crushed or broken as this could cause them to absorb some of the active ingredient through the skin. Men rarely suffer from side effects but there are recognised side effects, as with all medications. Less than 2% of patients taking the medication reported sexual side effects, such as impotence or lack of libido. Those who suffer side effects normally continue with the treatment and the side effects generally subside with time. For those who discontinue the treatment, the side effects are temporary and disappear within a few weeks of having stopped taking the medication. As losing your hair can be one of the most stressful experiences that a man can face, most men who are losing their hair are prepared to take a risk on the potential side effects given the substantial benefits of Propecia and the relatively low level of side effect occurrence.

INDICATIONS AND USAGE
PROPECIA is indicated for the treatment of male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) in MEN
ONLY. Safety and efficacy were demonstrated in men between 18 to 41 years of age with mild to
moderate hair loss of the vertex and anterior mid-scalp area (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Clinical
Studies).
Efficacy in bitemporal recession has not been established.
PROPECIA is not indicated in women (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Clinical Studies and
CONTRAINDICATIONS).
PROPECIA is not indicated in children (see PRECAUTIONS, Pediatric Use).
CONTRAINDICATIONS
PROPECIA is contraindicated in the following:
Pregnancy. Finasteride use is contraindicated in women when they are or may potentially be pregnant.
Because of the ability of Type II 5?-reductase inhibitors to inhibit the conversion of testosterone to DHT,
finasteride may cause abnormalities of the external genitalia of a male fetus of a pregnant woman who
receives finasteride. If this drug is used during pregnancy, or if pregnancy occurs while taking this drug,
the pregnant woman should be apprised of the potential hazard to the male fetus. (See also WARNINGS,
EXPOSURE OF WOMEN - RISK TO MALE FETUS; and PRECAUTIONS, Information for Patients and
Pregnancy.) In female rats, low doses of finasteride administered during pregnancy have produced
abnormalities of the external genitalia in male offspring.
Hypersensitivity to any component of this medication.
WARNINGS
PROPECIA is not indicated for use in pediatric patients (see INDICATIONS AND USAGE; and
PRECAUTIONS, Pediatric Use) or women (see also WARNINGS, EXPOSURE OF WOMEN - RISK TO
MALE FETUS; PRECAUTIONS, Information for Patients and Pregnancy; and HOW SUPPLIED, Storage
and Handling).
EXPOSURE OF WOMEN - RISK TO MALE FETUS
Women should not handle crushed or broken PROPECIA tablets when they are pregnant or may
potentially be pregnant because of the possibility of absorption of finasteride and the subsequent potential
risk to a male fetus. PROPECIA tablets are coated and will prevent contact with the active ingredient
during normal handling, provided that the tablets have not been broken or crushed. Order Propecia
