Propecia
Propecia is a medicine designed to treat male pattern baldness. Many men suffer from unexpected male pattern baldness, where head hair stops growing and creates unwanted bald patches on the head. Propecia Finasteride prevents the hormone DHT from being created within the body allowing hair follicles to grow normally and restoring natural hair growth. It's suitable for adults over 18 years and contains the active ingredient Finasteride.
- Designed for male pattern baldness
- A simple one-a-day dose in tablet form
- The branded version of cheaper generic Finasteride
- Can be used with Regaine
Propecia, a brand name of Finasteride, blocks the enzyme (5-alpha reductase) that turns testosterone into DHT, the hormone that shrinks hair follicles. This reduces hair loss.

Some men can experience depression when taking Propecia for hair loss. If this occurs when taking Propecia, you need to contact your doctor and stop taking this medication straight away. Contact your GP immediately if you experience any symptoms of depression or suicidal thoughts.
Problems with erections, sex drive and ejaculation have continued in some men after they stopped taking Propecia. If you get any sexual side effects, talk to your doctor.
Tell your doctor promptly about any changes in your breast tissue, such as lumps, pain, enlargement or nipple discharge, as these may be signs of a serious condition such as breast cancer.
Propecia is for men only and must not be taken by women or children. Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant must not touch crushed or broken tablets, as the medicine may affect the baby's sex organs.
