Propecia (finasteride)

Propecia (finasteride) is a prescription medicine intended for the treatment of male pattern baldness. Propecia works by reducing the amounts of DHT (dihydrotesterone) – the main culprit of hair loss in males. DHT is a specific substance produced by the body that can shrink hair follicles to the point when they are unable to produce hair. Lower amount of DHT prevents the shrinking of hair follicles allowing the hair to continue growing. It is thought that there are two key factors in male hair loss – the presence of high amounts of DHT and family history of this condition. So, Propecia helps you to reduce hair loss and re-grow some of the hair. It’s interesting that Propecia - the male pattern hair loss treatment - originated as a medicine designed to treat prostate cancer. Hair growth was one of the side effects recorded by the researchers and this medicine was approved in 1998 by the FDA for the treatment of male pattern hair loss.

This medicine should be taken constantly for the effects to be maintained – this means that once you stop taking Propecia the process of hair loss will resume and you will lose all the hair you have re-grown so far within a one year period. It may take you some time to feel the full benefits of Propecia – you must take it for at least 3 months for the first visible changes to appear. However, it is safe to say that if you did not benefit from the treatment during the first 12 months of taking Propecia regularly it is not likely to work for you in future.

Propecia is intended only for males and must never be taken by women unless otherwise recommended by the doctor. Females that may get pregnant must not handle crushed tablets of Propecia as their active ingredient finasteride may get absorbed through the skin and can cause abnormalities in male babies’ sex organs. That’s why every tablet of Propecia is coated to prevent the active ingredient from getting absorbed into the skin – the tablet should be taken whole without crushing or breaking it to make sure it starts dissolving only once it’s inside the stomach. If a woman accidentally comes into contact with a crushed tablet of Propecia the area affected must be washed with some warm soapy water and a qualified health professional should be contacted as soon as possible. You are not supposed to start taking Propecia if you ever had an allergic reaction to it or to a similar medicine called dutasteride. Before you ask your health care provider for a prescription the following heath conditions should be mentioned: stricture of the urethra, bladder muscle disorder, liver disease, prostate cancer or inability to urinate. Some of these may require a dose adjustment and your condition will be closely monitored for serous side effects. Your doctor may provide you with certain instructions regarding your diet and lifestyle so you need to make sure you observe these as well. Since Propecia in some cases has been reported to cause dizziness, make sure you stand up slowly to avoid falling and injuring yourself. Propecia may also cause certain side effects that should be reported to you health care provider as soon as possible: pain in the testicles, headache, runny nose, impotence or decreased libido, swelling in the hands or feet, skin rash, weakness, dizziness and breast tenderness. More serious side effects that must be reported to your doctor immediately as they may indicate male breast cancer include nipple discharge, breast lumps, pain or any other changes in the breast. Propecia has not been reported to cause serious drug interactions with other medicines, but you still need to talk to your health care provider if you need to start a new treatment and will be combining Propecia with something else. In general, most patients are able to take Propecia and use some other medicine– for instance, as Propecia causes impotence in some people, it may be used simultaneously with Viagra. Propecia works in the majority of cases with about 80% of all males benefitting from it. Obviously, the results may differ from person to person.
