Guys are a little leery about taking an oral medication for hair loss. This is completely understandable; I know I am. The question is, does Propecia for hair loss actually work? The first thing you need to know is that Propecia is a brand name of a medication called Proscar. Proscar has been used for hair loss since 1992. Therefore it's over 20 years old.
What does Propecia for hair loss actually do? Well, this oral medication assists by minimizing the impact of DHT on the scalp. If you are unfamiliar with DHT, it's dihydrotestosterone. DHT has a negative impact on your hair, since it excretes onto the scalp wreaking havoc. It basically damages hair follicles, causes them to become unanchored, and then the follicle pore seals shut. No hair returns.
Propecia is regulated by physicians, so you cannot buy it over-the-counter. Potentially this hair loss medication can reduce hair fallout and promote new hair growth. Some men combine Propecia for hair loss with a Minoxidil treatment such as Rogaine. As you probably know, hair loss treatments like Rogaine are topical, and do not require a prescription when at 5% or less.
Should you take Propecia for hair loss? Well, this is something you should discuss with your doctor or trichologist. He or she can provide you with specifics regarding cost (the cost can be $1 per pill or more), potential side effects, and whether or not Propecia is suitable for you. If your hair loss is quite extensive, the physician may recommend an alternative treatment such as hair transplants.
