Is Propecia for you?
Propecia is a medication that is used to treat male pattern hair loss. The
area that Propecia is most effective at treating is the mid scalp and the
top of the head area. Propecia will help to thicken the hair presence on the
scalp in most cases. The results can vary between patients but Propecia has
also been shown to slow hair loss as well.
How does Propecia work?
To try and put it as simply as possible, Propecia prevents the growth of
5-Alpha-Reductase, which in turn prevents the formation of DHT. DHT or Di-hydrotestosterone
is the hormone that is seen in higher levels in men who suffer from male pattern
hair loss. DHT is a hormone that the body does need as its primary function
is the development of the external male genitals. In men high levels of DHT
have also been linked to:
Acne
Reduced growth of any existing hair
Male pattern hair loss
Enlargement of the prostate
Propecia Dosages
It is recommended that you take a one 1mg tablet of Propecia as your daily
dose. You can take Propecia with or without meals. If you forget to take a
dose of Propecia you should just carry on with the usual dose the following
day. There are no benefits to be gained by taking more than the recommended
daily dose.
