What is Propecia used for? 

Propecia is a hair loss treatment which prevents testosterone converting to dihydrotestosterone, or DHT. It is commonly used in the treatment of male pattern hair loss which is a condition where the male experiences thinning of the hair around the scalp.  Male pattern baldness can begin with a receding hairline or balding at the top of the head. The active ingredient contained in Propecia is 1mg of Finasteride, which can also be used to treat prostate enlargement, but only in higher doses.

How to take Propecia

Propecia tablets should be taken exactly as your pharmacist or doctor has advised. You should check if you are unsure. The recommended dosage is one tablet a day orally. It is important to know that the treatment will not work any better if more than one dosage is consumed per day. Propecia is not suitable for women or children.

Are there any side effects?

While side effects do not necessarily affect everyone, they can still occur depending on the individuals’ circumstances. If you encounter any side effects as a result of using Propecia tablets, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
