Propecia also known as Finasteride is a potent hair growth medicine that is highly popular among all those people who are suffering from baldness from a very early age. It is a kind of an enzyme or an antiandrogen which is effective in conversion of the testosterone to DHT or dihydrotestosterone in the males leading to increased hair growth. Almost 85.7% of men out of a total of 148 men have experienced moderate to high hair growth with the consumption of Propecia.
Propecia can be consumed in the oral form or in the form of an oil. The intake of this drug decreases or stimulates the production of 5-alpha reductase type 2 which is responsible for the increase of DHT in the body. The consumption of Propecia also reduces the chances of prostate cancer to almost 70%. Not only in America, but the drug of Propecia is registered in many countries as a male baldness cure or alopecia as it is more commonly known. Although Propecia has been recognized as a drug for the treatment of the hair, it can only be used by males and not females because it is yet not tested on females so far.
This drug is increasingly being consumed by people but it suffers from a lot of side effects like a loss in potency pertaining to erectile dysfunction and breast gland swelling. The use of Propecia was approved in the year 1997 by FDA as a specific drug for male hair loss.
