What is Propecia?

Propecia (also known as Finasteride) is a tablet that’s taken daily to prevent hair loss in men who experience male pattern baldness. Propecia will work by slowing down the amount of hair loss you are experiencing, however, it may not reverse hair loss that has already occurred.

Therefore, if you are noticing that your hair is starting to thin or your hairline starting to recede, Propecia might just be the answer.

How does Propecia work?

There’s an enzyme in the body called 5-alpha reductase. Propecia converts the hormone testosterone into another hormone, dihydrotestosterone, or DHT. DHT can make hair follicles shrink, and trigger hair loss, if your body is sensitive to it.

Propecia stops the enzyme from converting testosterone into DHT, reducing the amount of the enzyme in the blood and the scalp. This helps to bolster hair growth, and prevent any more hair loss.

Is Propecia effective?

Propecia results have proven that it can greatly slow down the effects of male pattern baldness and even help with hair regrowth. Propecia has only shown improvement in mild to moderate cases of male pattern hair loss. Studies have shown positive results in over half of men, which range from good to excellent. Up to 80% of men who take Propecia will notice less hair loss and 65% of men who take Propecia will notice hair regrowth.

How to use Propecia

Propecia is a tablet that should be taken by mouth once daily, preferably at the same time. It should be swallowed whole with water and can be taken with or without food.

If you forget to take a pill, don’t take two to make up for a missed tablet. Take the next scheduled tablet and carry on as you normally would.

How long does Propecia take to work?

Propecia results after three months should be noticeable, but it may be six months or more before its full effects can be seen.

Why does it take Propecia so long to work? It takes the follicles this long to produce new hair, so some patience is needed. If you haven’t noticed any improvements after 12 months, you should speak to us about alternative treatment options.

If I take too much Propecia, what should I do?

Taking more Propecia than has been prescribed will not lead to better, quicker results. If you think you may have taken too much Propecia you should seek immediate medical attention.

For more information, contact our clinician, or see the package leaflet that comes with your treatment for further guidance.

Propecia: FAQ

Have something specific you want to know? Search our info below, or ask our experts a question if you can’t find what you’re looking for.

Is Propecia safe?

Answer:

Finasteride and Propecia are safe for the vast majority of men to take. There are some conditions that might make its use unsuitable, but these usually relate specifically to prostate conditions, mental health conditions including depression, or allergies.

The most common side effects are thought to affect under one in 100 patients and shouldn’t affect hair growth on any other part of the body.

A few men feel that Propecia damages their sex drive or causes low mood even after they’ve stopped taking it, although this isn’t supported by research. If you’re worried about the side effects of Propecia, you can talk to one of our clinicians.

What is the recommended dosage of Propecia?

Answer:

The dose that is approved by the FDA is Propecia 1mg. This should be taken daily with or without food. Higher doses of Propecia are available, however the higher doses are for treatment of benign prostatic enlargement (BPE).

If you think you have taken more Propecia than you should, please get immediate medical attention

Can I buy Propecia over the counter?

Answer:

It’s not possible to buy Propecia over the counter, so you will need a prescription. We can help you know whether Propecia is safe for you. All you need to do is tell us a bit about your health, and we’ll recommend some treatments that are safe for you. From there, you can choose the option that suits you best.

What is the difference between Finasteride and Propecia?

Answer:

Propecia is a brand-name version of the generic medication Finasteride, and finasteride is the active ingredient in the treatment. The main differences between the two are appearance and price. As Finasteride is a generic medication, it may be slightly cheaper than Propecia, and the packaging and the way the pill looks may differ as a result.

Although Propecia and Finasteride contain the same active ingredient, they do contain different inactive ingredients. It’s unlikely you would get side effects on one and not the other. But if you experience any side effects, you should discuss these with the clinician. These side effects are rare, but they may be key to which of the two treatments is most suitable (and safe) for you to use.

Why should I buy Propecia online with Treated?

Answer:

We will recommend hair loss treatments that are tailored just for you. Tell us about your health, any underlying medical conditions and what medications you take so your provider can advise you on hair loss options that are safe and suitable specifically for you. Choose which treatment you’d like, and how often you’d like us to send your medication to you (and the amount of it each time too).

You’ll also have access to clinicians whenever you need them, and they’ll get in touch with you on a regular basis to see how you’re getting on with your treatment.
