Propecia® is an oral medication that is used to treat male pattern baldness (also known as androgenetic alopecia) in men. It contains the active ingredient Finasteride, which is a type of medication called an androgen. Finasteride works by blocking the production of an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase, which is responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a hormone that causes hair follicles to shrink and eventually stop producing hairs. By blocking the production of DHT, Propecia® effectively stops hair growth and prevents further hair loss. Finasteride is available in a tablet form, which is taken orally, and the dosage is based on your medical condition, response to treatment, and individual response to the medication. The primary goal of Propecia® is to stop hair loss and prevent further hair loss. The medication works by blocking the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that causes hair loss. DHT is known as a male pattern balding hormone and has been linked to male pattern baldness since it was first identified in 1991. As with any medication, Propecia® should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional who can provide personalized medical advice and guidance on the proper use of the medication. It is important to note that Propecia® is not a cure for male pattern baldness. It only works as an oral medication, rather than a topical treatment. It is recommended that you use Propecia® regularly to prevent hair loss while on the medication.

Propecia works by blocking the production of a male hormone in the body that causes hair loss. Hair loss causes hair follicles to shrink and eventually stop producing hair, leading to hair loss.
Propecia contains finasteride as its active ingredient. It works by blocking the action of a substance in the body called type 2 5-alpha-reductase. This enzyme converts testosterone into DHT (dihydrotestosterone), a hormone that causes hair loss.
In men, the inability to get and maintain an adequate hair follicle leads to an increased risk of hair loss. When the hair follicles in men shrink, hair loss can occur.
Propecia may also slow down hair loss and may help relieve some symptoms of an enlarged prostate. For example, finasteride can help slow prostate growth and relieve symptoms of an enlarged prostate such as difficulty urinating and frequent urination.
