1.
WHAT PROPECIA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Propecia contains the active substance finasteride.
PROPECIA IS FOR USE IN MEN ONLY.
Propecia is used for the treatment of male pattern hair loss (also
known as androgenetic
alopecia) in men aged 18-41. If after reading this leaflet, you have
any questions about male
pattern hair loss, ask your doctor.
Male pattern hair loss is a common condition thought to be caused by a
combination of
genetic factors and a particular hormone, called dihydrotestosterone
(DHT). DHT contributes
to shortening of the growth phase of the hair and to thinning of the
hair.
In the scalp, Propecia specifically lowers the levels of DHT by
blocking an enzyme (Type II
5-alpha reductase) that converts testosterone to DHT. Only men with
mild to moderate, but
not complete hair loss can expect to benefit from the use of Propecia.
In most of the men
treated with Propecia for 5 years, the progression of hair loss was
slowed, and at least half of
these men also had some kind of improved hair growth.
