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.
