Of all the medications and solutions for Male Pattern Hair Loss, Porpecia is the only pill that has been approved by the Untied States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in Male Pattern Hair Loss.

It has shown some remarkable results and statistics indicate that it is highly effective when taken as directed.

Who Should Use Propecia

First of all, it needs to be clear that Propecia is only for use in men.  While there are some treatments that women who experience hair loss could use, Propecia is not one of them.  It is for use in men only.  It is not approved for women and children.

How Does Propecia Work

The mechanism through which Propecia works is to inhibit the secretion of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the hair follicle.  It is well known that DHT, a male hormone, is the leading cause of genetic hair loss.  When there is an overabundance of this hormone present in the hair follicle, it actually kills and disintegrates the follicle preventing future growth.  Propecia is effective in slowing down the production of DHT, thereby reducing the damage it can do.

How Effective is Propecia

After a five year clinical study, it was evidenced that 9 out of 10 men experienced realized significant results.  The exact statistics show that 48% experienced new growth while 42% showed no further loss of hair.  The results are documented in photographs and by a panel of Board Certified Dermatologists.  Further, all of the men in the study who took Propecia regrew hair while 77% of the men were verified as having new growth by their own doctors!  It was reported that the bald spot got smaller, hair loss virtually stopped and the appearance of their hair actually improved.

How to Get Propecia

In the United States, Propecia is available by prescription only.  Although there are various places where it can be purchased, either online or in local pharmacies, it is necessary to provide a prescription to have the order filled.  An accurate diagnosis of Male Pattern Hair Loss should be made prior to administering Propecia since there are many types of hair loss, some of which are treated differently.  Propecia is prescribed for genetic hair loss which is referred to as pattern hair loss or pattern baldness.

Propecia is Not for Use in Women

It should be stressed that Propecia is not for use in women, and should not be taken or even handled by pregnant women.  There is evidence that Propecia can cause birth defects in the sex organs of male fetuses.  If a pregnant woman should inadvertently handle or take Propecia it is essential to speak with her obstetrician immediately.

Propecia is highly effective in treating Male Pattern Hair Loss and has shown remarkable results.  If you have been diagnosed with this form of hair loss, Propecia has proven to both stop further hair loss and provide regrowth in follicles that are still alive but not producing hair.
