Propecia is a pill taken by mouth that is a new and
effective treatment for male pattern baldness. A net
increase in scalp hair count and hair regrowth was seen
in over 80% of men for whom it was prescribed. Numerous
studies have been done looking at the efficacy of PROPECIA.
Assessments were done by looking at photographic enlargements
of sections of the scalp. Investigators have found that
PROPECIA increases hair growth in over 80% of men. Overall
improvements were seen as quickly as 3 months after
starting the medicine. PROPECIA not only led to a decrease
in hair loss but also significantly increased the rate
of hair regrowth. These effects were maintained for
over 2 years with continued PROPECIA therapy. It was
concluded from these studies that as long as PROPECIA
therapy is continued it will remain effective in facilitating
hair regrowth

HOW TO TAKE THIS MEDICATION
This drug is taken by mouth. 1 tablet per day.
PROPECIA is the brand name for finasteride, which acts
to inhibit the conversion of the androgen (male hormone)
testosterone into 5-alpha-dihydrotesterone (DHT). In
men each hair follicle contains tiny amounts of DHT.
As male pattern baldness begins the amount of DHT contained
in each follicle increases. PROPECIA through its inhibitory
action serves to reverse this process by decreasing
the amount of DHT in the hair follicle and in blood.
|
SIDE EFFECTS
In multiple clinical studies adverse reactions
were noted to be rare and did not affect most men. The
most common adverse reaction was decreased libido that
appeared to occur in less then 2.0% of men taking this
medicine. The problem quickly resolved in all cases
upon the discontinuation of the medication.
|
PRECAUTIONS
PROPECIA tablets are film coated; therefore women
can safely handle the intact tablet. Nonetheless, a
crushed or broken tablet should not be handled by women
who are pregnant or who may be pregnant due to potential
adverse effects of this medication on the male fetus.
Caution should be used when men with liver disorders
take PROPECIA. This medicine is broken down by liver-enzymes.
Therefore, in patients with liver disease PROPECIA can
cause hepatitis (liver inflammation), although this
problem is seen very rarely. |
DRUG INTERACTION
PROPECIA does not appear too have any significant
interactions with other drugs taken concomitantly.
