Propecia (Finasteride)
Use
Propecia belongs to a class of medications called 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors. It is a common remedy for Androgenic Alopecia, or male pattern baldness. Nearly 35 million American men suffer from this condition.
Propecia is used to treat conditions stimulated by dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is a hormone the body creates from testosterone. DHT-induced conditions include male pattern baldness, among others.
Finasteride is an active ingredient in Propecia and Proscar that causes a decline in the concentration of DHT to combat baldness. Generally, within 24 hours of taking the drug, concentration of DHT drops by approximately 65 percent with full effects appearing three months or more after beginning treatment.
Propecia Side Effects:
- Decreased libido
- Erectile dysfunction
- Ejaculation disorder
- Lowered sexual sensitivity
