Losing your hair - We have a solution

Male pattern hair loss is quite common among adult men. It refers to thinning of hair which loosens on the scalp and eventually falls out.  Male pattern baldness is different from normal hair loss as the hair falls out permanently in this condition. But it can be treated through prescription medication like Propecia.

Hair loss is usually caused by following factors:

• Ageing
• Hormonal imbalance
• Illness and infectious disease
• Nervous disorders
• Toxic substances
• Injury and impairment

Propecia

Propecia (finasteride) is an effective prescription medicine for treating male pattern hair loss. It blocks an enzyme, 5-alpha-reductase, which causes hair loss. A single pill is taken every day to combat hair loss. It also stimulates new hair growth and is a treatment for men above 18 years of age.

Men who suffer from the following conditions should avoid taking this pill:

• Liver disease / abnormal liver enzyme test
• Prostrate cancer
• Bladder muscle disorder
• Stricture of urethra
• Unable to urinate because of infection

As a side effect, you may suffer from temporary impotence or loss of sex drive.

Finasteride

It is the active ingredient in Propecia. It prevents conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which causes hair loss. It slows down hair loss and also helps in new hair growth.

Dosage 

Only 1 mg finasteride tablet should be taken everyday and at the same time. On forgetting the dosage it should be taken as soon as you remember. But an over dosage may lead to side effects.

It should be taken with a glass of water, either with or without food.

If any unusual or painful side effects are experienced, you should immediately contact your doctor.
