Propecia, a generic version of Finasteride, is a clinically approved medication for the treatment of hair loss. If you are considering this medication, it is important to understand how it works best, its potential side effects, and other associated information. When combating hair loss and thinning, using Propecia 1 mg tends to be the most successful approach. Propecia is taken once a day to treat hair loss all over the scalp effectively. It contains Finasteride, which is a proven medication for the treatment of male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia. Male pattern baldness is the commonly reported hair loss problem in men. Most men having this problem will begin losing their hair in their teenage. By the age of 60, around 80% of males experience some degree of this pattern hair loss. Men with pattern hair loss tend to lose in a well-defined pattern beginning from the temples and then progresses over time to form a typical M shape. The type of hair loss involves the crown area, gradually advancing until the entire scalp. Gradually the entire scalp area, including the front, top, and crown are bald. The effects of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), male testosterone on genetically susceptible hair follicles present in the top, front, and crown area of the scalp is responsible for causing male pattern hair loss. DHT cause shrinking of hair follicles; it reduces the size of hair follicles (Miniaturization) by both in diameter and length. As a result, the miniaturized follicles begin to produce small unpigmented hair rather than the normal hair. DHT also decreases the growth phase of the hair follicle cycle. These effects cause the hair to become shorter and finer gradually and ultimately disappear. Here, when the role of Propecia medication comes. Finasteride, the active ingredient in Propecia blocks 5 alpha-reductase, an enzyme that converts the male’s testosterone to DHT. This results in a drop in the levels of DHT. According to research studies, Finasteride 1 mg decreases serum DHT levels by 70%.
