What Is Propecia

Propecia is a prescription medication that contains the active element finasteride and is used to treat male pattern baldness and benign prostatic hyperplasia. Finasteride is one of only two drugs currently approved by the US FDA to treat male pattern baldness. It is a member of the class of medications called 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors. The effect of 5-alpha-reductase, an enzyme that transforms testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), is blocked by these drugs, which prevents hair loss. Propecia is well-known for its effectiveness in promoting hair growth at the crown of the head but it is not yet clear whether it can help treat a receding hairline or not.

Propecia is also used to help shrink the prostate gland and relieve the symptoms of BPH – trouble urinating, increased urinary urgency, etc. According to reports, individuals with BPH who use finasteride can frequently avoid prostate surgery in the long run.

Brand-name Propecia is a medication produced by Merck and available in tablet form. Each octagonal film-coated Propecia tablet contains 1 mg of finasteride, features an etched stylized P logo on one side and the word "PROPECIA" on the reverse. In addition to finasteride, Propecia also contains inactive ingredients like as lactose monohydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, titanium dioxide, magnesium stearate, and red ferric oxide. When prescribed for hair loss treatment, 1 tablet of Propecia is taken with or without food at the same time each day. Noticeable results are usually observed around 3 months after the beginning of treatment. When the medicine is discontinued, the increase in hair volume is normally lost within a year. The generic versions of Propecia, usually sold in pharmacies simply as finasteride, are less expensive than their brand-name equivalent. The generics include the same chemicals as Propecia and are also designed for daily oral administration at a dosage of 1 mg when used as a hair loss therapy. Finasteride is also available in a 5 mg strength to treat benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH).

Propecia is only prescribed to adult men and can have serious adverse effects in women and children. Using or even handling this drug while pregnant is dangerous since it can enter the bloodstream through the skin and cause harm to the growing male fetus.
