 HOW
DOES PROPECIA WORK?
PROPECIA is the brand name for finasteride, which acts
to inhibit the conversion of the androgen (male hormone)
testosterone into 5-alpha-dihydrotesterone (DHT). In
men each hair follicle contains tiny amounts of DHT.
As male pattern baldness begins the amount of DHT contained
in each follicle increases. PROPECIA through its inhibitory
action serves to reverse this process by decreasing
the amount of DHT in the hair follicle and in blood.

HOW
EFFECTIVE IS PROPECIA?
Numerous studies have been done looking at the efficacy
of PROPECIA. Assessments were done by looking at photographic
enlargements of sections of the scalp. Investigators
have found that PROPECIA increases hair growth in over
80% of men. Overall improvements were seen as quickly
as 3 months after starting the medicine. PROPECIA not
only led to a decrease in hair loss but also significantly
increased the rate of hair regrowth. These effects were
maintained for over 2 years with continued PROPECIA
therapy. It was concluded from these studies that as
long as PROPECIA therapy is continued it will remain
effective in facilitating hair regrowth.

CAN
I USE PROPECIA WITH ROGAINE AND/OR RETIN-A?
Yes. PROPECIA when used with ROGAINE and/or RETIN-A
is much more effective than using ROGAINE alone. People
who have been long time users of ROGAINE with little
or no effect have reported almost an immediate start
of hair growth after starting PROPECIA. Since PROPECIA
works against the cause of hair loss, it allows ROGAINE
to work better. This combination is the fastest way
to get results.

ADVERSE
REACTIONS:
In multiple clinical studies adverse reactions were
noted to be rare and did not affect most men. The most
common adverse reaction was decreased libido that appeared
to occur in less then 2.0% of men taking this medicine.
The problem quickly resolved in all cases upon the discontinuation
of the medication.

DRUG
INTERACTIONS:
PROPECIA does not appear too have any significant interactions
with other drugs taken concomitantly.

WARNINGS:
PROPECIA tablets are film coated; therefore women can
safely handle the intact tablet. Nonetheless, a crushed
or broken tablet should not be handled by women who
are pregnant or who may be pregnant due to potential
adverse effects of this medication on the male fetus.
Caution should be used when men with liver disorders
take PROPECIA. This medicine is broken down by liver-enzymes.
Therefore, in patients with liver disease PROPECIA can
cause hepatitis (liver inflammation), although this
problem is seen very rarely.
