Finasteride - Generic Propecia

A study showed that hair grew in thicker, faster, or both.

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 with 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.

You may see less hair loss in as little as 3 months.

You will need to take PROPECIA for as long as you want to grow or maintain your hair.

If you stop taking PROPECIA, you will likely lose the hair you have gained within 12 months of stopping treatment.

Available data indicate that the level of PROPECIA in the semen of a man taking PROPECIA does not pose a risk to an unborn child. Accordingly, a man can take PROPECIA while conceiving a child with his partner, or have sexual intercourse with his partner if she is already pregnant.

PROPECIA is for the treatment of male pattern hair loss in MEN ONLY and should NOT be used by women or children.

Women who are or may potentially be pregnant must not use PROPECIA and should not handle crushed or broken tablets of PROPECIA because the active ingredient may cause abnormalities of a male baby’s sex organs. If a woman who is pregnant comes into contact with the active ingredient in PROPECIA, a doctor should be consulted. PROPECIA tablets are coated and will prevent contact with the active ingredient during normal handling, provided that the tablets are not broken or crushed.
