Hair loss is a common problem with many men. In fact, in a nationwide survey of single, balding men, the biggest appearance-related concern was hair loss. So if you’re worried about it, you’re not alone. Hair loss can begin in your teens, 20s, or 30s, and by the time you notice it, 50% of your hair may already be gone.

What causes male pattern hair loss?

Scientists believe DHT and family history are key factors in hair loss.

What is DHT, you ask? It’s a substance found in your body that can shrink the hair follicle until it no longer produces visible hair. In men with a family history of hair loss, DHT is believed to contribute to the progressive shrinking of hair follicles and a decrease in the number of visible hairs.

In short, if you have a family history of hair loss on either side of your family, you may have an increased risk for male pattern hair loss.

What is PROPECIA?

Propecia is a FDA approved pill to treat male pattern hair loss. The introduction of this medication on hair stops hair fall to a significant extent. Male pattern hair loss may be defined as the hair loss pattern where the vertex and mid-scalp area goes through hair loss. Application of this medication stops the hair fall and revitalises the hair follicles to grow hair at those areas where hair fall had been experienced.

How does PROPECIA work?

PROPECIA works on a key cause of hair loss by significantly reducing the amount of DHT.

Specifically, PROPECIA blocks the formation of DHT in your scalp. Lowering DHT appears to inhibit the further shrinking of affected hair follicles.

The good news is that PROPECIA helps regrow visible hair and reduces further hair loss. It is, in fact, the first and only FDA-approved pill proven to treat male pattern hair loss on the vertex (top of head) and anterior mid-scalp area (middle front of head) in men.

How effective is PROPECIA at regrowing hair?

2

of 3 men on PROPECIA regrew hair, as measured by hair count.

Simply put, all men who took the placebo (sugar pill) lost hair by the end of the 5-year study.

On the other hand, most men (2 of 3) on PROPECIA gained hair at the end of the 5-year study.

By the end of the study, there was an average difference of 277 hairs in a test spot (1-inch circle on top of head) between men who took PROPECIA and men who took placebo.

Throughout the 5-year study, the difference between the 2 groups increased. The maximum increase in hair count with PROPECIA occurred in the first 2 years of the study.

Will I grow natural-looking hair?

A study showed that hair grew in thicker and/or faster.

PROPECIA grows natural hair, not just “peach fuzz.”

At the end of a 4-year study, there was an increase in the weight of hair samples taken from the men who took PROPECIA compared to hair samples taken from the men who took a placebo (sugar pill).

The effectiveness of PROPECIA was demonstrated in studies of men, aged 18 to 41, with mild to moderate hair loss at the top and middle front of the head. There is not sufficient evidence that PROPECIA works for receding hairlines at the temples.

Can I take PROPECIA if my wife and I are starting a family?

Contact with the semen from a man being treated with PROPECIA is not a risk to the unborn child of a pregnant woman.

Yes, you can take PROPECIA if you and your wife are trying to conceive or if your wife is currently pregnant. However, women who are or may potentially be pregnant must not use PROPECIA and should not handle crushed or broken tablets of PROPECIA because doing so may cause abnormalities of a male baby’s sex organs.

PROPECIA is for MEN ONLY.

PROPECIA tablets are coated and will prevent contact with the active ingredient during normal handling, provided that the tablets have not been broken or crushed.
