Undoubtedly, after the approval of Propecia finasteride as a viable hair loss treatment, millions of people across the world are filled with new hope. Available in all licensed pharmacies in the UK as well as in most countries of the European Union, Propecia can be bought after obtaining a valid prescription from a licensed medical practitioner.
What is Propecia?
Propecia is an oral prescription pill that is recommended for men who suffer from male pattern baldness. This drug has the ability to correct genetic dependent factors, resulting in increased hair growth on the scalp and curtailing further hair loss. In fact, this is the first pill on the market that successfully treats irreversible causes of male pattern hair loss, popularly known as male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia.
How does Propecia work?
Propecia works with the help of its active ingredient called finasteride. Propecia works in your body to stop the natural conversion process of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone or DHT. As a result, Propecia helps lower DHT levels, putting a gradual stop to further hair loss. Propecia can help men with mild to moderate form of hair loss.
Propecia is a serious prescription drug which has undergone several clinical trials that have shown some very effective results - it stops further hair fall and encourages new hair growth. Therefore, Propecia is considered to be one of the most effective hair loss treatments on the market.
When it comes to treating baldness, it is medicinal pills and topicals that spring to most peoples' minds as the options holding the greatest promise. There are also other available treatment options, such as surgical and non-surgical hair replacement, but to date only oral and topical medicinal treatments have been proven to reduce and reverse hair loss naturally. Hair surgery, though providing the best cosmetic results, cannot slow or reverse hair loss. Natural and herbal hair loss treatments seek to mimic medicinal treatments in their mode of action but their effectiveness in treating hair loss has never been confirmed in any serious clinical study and too many of them are associated with hair scams.
The two medicinal treatments that have been approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) in the US for treating hair loss are topical minoxidil (trade name Rogaine/Regaine) and oral finasteride (Propecia). These two hair loss drugs have been also approved by national health supervisory authorities in many other countries. Topical minoxidil is suitable for both sexes, whereas finasteride can only be prescribed to male patients. Minoxidil is a vasodilator, originally used to treat high blood pressure, which was later found to stimulate new hair growth when applied topically to the scalp. Its exact mechanism of action is not known, though.
Finasteride is an antiandrogen that was originally applied to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as prostate enlargement. It acts by blocking conversion of the male hormone testosterone to the follicle harming didydrotestosterone (DHT). The discovery of finasteride's positive effects on hair growth led to finding the true cause of hereditary baldness, which are the harmful attacks of DHT on our hair follicles. Since making this discovery, a quest for other alternative DHT blockers has begun, especially amongst antiandrogen drugs and herbs that have been traditionally used to treat urinary problems.
