PROPECIA tablets are
provided in a dosage of 1 milligram. The pills are tan, octagonal (8
sided), film coated convex tablets with a “P” on one side and the word “PROPECIA”
on the other side.
HOW DOES PROPECIA WORK?
PROPECIA is the brand
name for finasteride, which acts to inhibit the conversion of the androgen
(male hormone) testosterone into 5-alpha-dihydrotesterone (DHT). In
men each hair follicle contains tiny amounts of DHT. As male
pattern baldness begins the amount of DHT contained in each
follicle increases. PROPECIA through its inhibitory action serves
to reverse this process by decreasing the amount of DHT in the hair
follicle and in blood.
HOW EFFECTIVE IS
PROPECIA?
Numerous studies have been
done looking at the efficacy of PROPECIA. Assessments were done by
looking at photographic enlargements of sections of the scalp.
Investigators have found that PROPECIA increases hair growth in
over 80% of men. Overall improvements were seen as quickly as 3 months
after starting the medicine. PROPECIA not only led to a decrease in
hair loss but also significantly increased the rate of hair regrowth.
These effects were maintained for over 2 years with continued PROPECIA
therapy. It was concluded from these studies that as long as PROPECIA
therapy is continued it will remain effective in facilitating hair
regrowth.
CAN I USE PROPECIA WITH
ROGAINE AND/OR RETIN-A?
Yes. PROPECIA when
used with ROGAINE and/or RETIN-A is much more effective than
using ROGAINE alone. People who have been long time users of
ROGAINE with little or no effect have reported almost an immediate
start of hair growth after starting PROPECIA. Since PROPECIA
works against the cause of hair loss, it allows ROGAINE to work
better. This combination is the fastest way to get results.
ADVERSE REACTIONS:
In multiple clinical studies
adverse reactions were noted to be rare and did not affect most men. The
most common adverse reaction was decreased libido that appeared to occur
in less then 2.0% of men taking this medicine. The problem quickly
resolved in all cases upon the discontinuation of the medication.
DRUG INTERACTIONS:
PROPECIA does not
appear too have any significant interactions with other drugs taken
concomitantly.
WARNINGS:
PROPECIA tablets are
film coated; therefore women can safely handle the intact tablet.
Nonetheless, a crushed or broken tablet should not be handled by women who
are pregnant or who may be pregnant due to potential adverse effects of
this medication on the male foetus.
Caution should be used when
men with liver disorders take PROPECIA. This medicine is broken
down by liver-enzymes. Therefore, in patients with liver disease
PROPECIA can cause hepatitis (liver inflammation), although this
problem is seen very rarely.
