Product information
Propecia, also called Finasteride, is a tablet taken daily to help prevent hair loss in men with male pattern baldness. Although it can't actually bring back hair that's already gone, Propecia significantly slows down the progression of the condition. If you're seeing your hair begin to thin or your hairline recede, Propecia could be the solution.
How to use
No, you can't buy Propecia over the counter; you'll need a private prescription. Our clinicians can assist in determining if Propecia is suitable for you. Simply provide us with some information about your health, and we'll suggest treatments that are safe for you. Then, you can select the option that fits you best.
Finasteride and Propecia are safe for most men to use. However, there are certain conditions, like specific prostate issues or allergies, that might make them unsuitable. The most common side effects are believed to occur in fewer than one in 100 patients and shouldn't impact hair growth on any other part of the body. Some men feel that Propecia affects their sex drive or leads to low mood, even after they stop using it, though research doesn't back this up. If you're concerned about Propecia's side effects, feel free to speak with one of our clinicians.
Take Propecia 1mg tablets once daily, either with food or on an empty stomach, to treat male pattern baldness. Although there are higher doses like Propecia 5mg, these are typically used for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). If you take more Propecia than recommended, please contact our clinician straight away.
Propecia is a brand name for the medication Finasteride, which is the active ingredient used in the treatment. The key differences between them are how they look and their cost. Since Finasteride is a generic version, it might be a bit less expensive than Propecia, and the packaging and appearance of the pill might vary. Propecia and Finasteride both have the same active ingredient, but their inactive ingredients differ. It's unlikely you'll experience side effects from one and not the other. However, if you do notice any side effects, it's important to talk to our clinician about them. Although side effects are rare, they could help determine which treatment is the best and safest option for you.
Propecia isn't right for everyone, and there are a few things you should know before using it. Here's all the official information on it. If anything isn't clear, just let our clinician know, and they can discuss it with you.
