This medicine is effective in treating and preventing further hair loss in men. Finasteride the generic form of Propecia is used in the treatment of male pattern baldness (hair loss), a common condition amongst men. The medication works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
Finasteride 1mg is a tablet treatment for male pattern hair loss, taken once a day. It works by blocking the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone mainly responsible for shrinking scalp hair follicles in male pattern baldness.
It's for men only. Improvement is gradual — most men need at least 3-6 months of daily treatment before seeing a difference, and any benefit is generally lost within months of stopping.
Women and children should not handle broken or crushed tablets, as finasteride can be absorbed through the skin and may harm an unborn baby.
Most men don't experience problems, but a small number notice effects related to hormone levels.
These usually resolve after stopping treatment. Contact your prescriber if any side effect is troublesome or doesn't go away, or if you notice any lumps, pain or discharge from the breast area.
