Propecia (Finasteride) 28 tablets
Merchant: Pharmacy First
Merchant's Category:
What Propecia is and what it is used for Propecia contains a medicine called finasteride. This belongs to a group of medicines called Type II '5-alpha reductase inhibitors'. Propecia is used for the treatment of male pattern hair loss (also known as androgenetic alopecia). Propecia increases hair growth on the scalp and prevents further hair loss in men. Men with mild to moderate, but not complete hair loss, can benefit from using Propecia. How does the hair on your head grow? On average your hair grows about 1 centimetre (half an inch) each month. Hair grows from hair follicles, which are located under your skin. A single scalp hair grows continuously for 2-4 years (growth phase) and then stops growing for 2-4 months (rest phase). After this the hair falls out. In its place a new healthy hair begins to grow, and the cycle is repeated. The hairs on your scalp are always in different stages of this cycle so it is normal to lose scalp hair every day. What is male pattern hair loss? Male pattern hair loss is a common condition in which men experience thinning of the hair on the scalp, often resulting in a receding hairline and/or balding on the top of the head. This condition is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic factors and a particular hormone, DHT (dihydrotestosterone). DHT causes a decrease in the growth phase and thinning of the hair (see picture). This leads to male pattern hair loss. These changes can start to occur in some men in their 20s and become more common with age. Once hair loss has occurred over a long period of time, the hair may be permanently lost. How does Propecia work? Propecia lowers the levels of DHT in the scalp. This helps to reverse the balding process, leading to an increased hair growth and prevention of further hair loss. What you need to know before you take Propecia Do not take Propecia: if you are a woman (because this medicine is for men). It has been shown in clinical trials that Propecia does not work in women with hair loss. if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to finasteride or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in Section 6). If you are already taking finasteride or dutasteride used for a prostate problem called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Do not take Propecia if any of the above apply to you. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. Warnings and Precautions Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Propecia if: You are going to have a blood test for prostate cancer called PSA (prostate-specific antigen). This is because Propecia can affect the result of this test. Effects on fertility Infertility has been reported in men who took finasteride for long time and had other risk factors that may affect fertility. Normalisatio
