Propecia's claim to fame is to maintain hair and stop hair loss. 83% of men studied were able to maintain their original follicle count, and 64% experienced re-growth after 2 years. Propecia does this by inhibiting the creation of DHT. In your system DHT is a naturally occurring hormone which assists with sexual development in males during fetal development and puberty. When a man begins to undergo that second change of life, DHT becomes some hair follicles worst enemy. Follicles at the front, top, and upper back of the head in most men are genetically programmed to become susceptible to DHT at some point in the man's life. Those hairs which cover the sides and bottom back of the head typically are not, which is why most men do not lose hair in these areas. Without a DHT inhibitor either systemically (in the bloodstream) or locally in the scalp, each time your hair cycles, the follicle will become thinner, shorter, and ultimately it will not grow back in. With an 83% success rate at ending baldness, people are starting to talk! Please read this page thoroughly before you decide to buy Propecia.

Propecia requires a prescription.

Propecia is generally not used for women. Women who are or may potentially be pregnant must not use Propecia and should not handle crushed or broken Propecia tablets because the active ingredient may cause abnormalities of 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. Propecia tablets are coated and will prevent contact with the active ingredient during normal handling, provided that the tablets are not broken or crushed.

Propecia is a daily medication. Patients may see results in 3 months. If use of Propecia is discontinued, results will gradually go away over 12 months.

In clinical studies for Propecia, a small number of men experienced certain sexual side effects, such as less desire for sex, difficulty in achieving an erection, or a decrease in the amount of semen. Each of these side effects occurred in less than 2% of men and went away in men who stopped taking Propecia because of them.
