The popular prescription drug known as Propecia actually began as a medication that was intended to treat prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate). And while the medication is still used to treat this dreaded condition, it has achieved worldwide fame based on its ability to regrow hair in men.

How did this happen? Well, during the clinical trials of the drug, patients noticed a welcomed side effect, i.e., that the drug was helping them regrow their hair. A few years later, PROPECIA was officially approved by the FDA as a drug that could help minimize the effects and symptoms of prostatic hyperplasia. Five years after that, the drug become the first prescription medication to fight the effects of male pattern baldness.

How does it work? When a man who is suffering from male pattern baldness loses a hair, it is often the result of thinning. What this means is that when the hair falls out, it is replaced by a thinner, weaker stand. The process repeats itself over and over again until the last hair is simply too thin and weak to grow. After this hair parts with the scalp, the follicle shuts down and no longer produces new hair.

What PROPECIA actually does is reduce the level of the male hormone DHT, which most doctors believe is responsible for male pattern baldness. The drug also helps open up closed hair follicles and promotes healthy new hair growth.

How effective is PROPECIA? Though many competing products claim that they can match, even beat the results of the prescription medication, none of them have been subjected to as many exhaustive tests and clinical trials as PROPECIA. In fact, the last 5-year clinical trial revealed that PROPECIA was effective nearly ninety per cent of the time. No other treatment can compete with those numbers.
