Finasteride is an oral medication that prevents the progression of hair loss called “male pattern baldness.” The drug stops the production of an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. This enzyme regulates how your body produces dihydrotestosterone or DHT – which harms the hair follicles. You can prevent hair loss with this FDA-approved medication. is the generic version of the brand Propecia. This medication is also helpful for some women.

Propecia

Propecia is one of the most widely-prescribed, well-known hair growth medications. It is FDA-approved to treat male pattern baldness. Not only does Propecia prevent further hair loss, but in some men, it will allow them to regrow hair in balding areas. In a clinical trial, 66 percent of the men taking the drug experienced visible hair regrowth. Men who have inherited balding can outsmart nature with the help of this doctor-prescribed medication.

FAQ

Can I take Propecia if I am pregnant?

Pregnant women should not take this medication, and cannot even touch a pill, as it can cause congenital disabilities in male babies or cause changes in natural breast tissue.

How does finasteride work?

Your hair follicles are programmed by your DNA, and if you have inherited the “bald gene,” your hair follicles stop producing hair due to a hormone called DHT. Finasteride blocks the production of this hormone.
