Propecia is a drug that can reverse male baldness

Doctors often prescribe a drug called Propecia to men who have male pattern baldness which is also referred to as androgenetic alopecia. The chief ingredient is finasteride which works by inhibiting the production of a male hormone called DHT (dihydrotestosterone). This is the hormone that causes balding. The hair follicles weaken and die, and eventually the hairs fall out.

 

Propecia is not suitable for all people. It is manufactured for use by men only. It is not safe for women or children. A registered doctor prescribes the drug after a lengthy consultation with his or her patient. Pharmacies will not dispense Propecia unless you have a valid script. If you buy this product via the internet, you are also required to undergo a consultation with a licensed doctor.

 

If you do make your purchase online and the package arrives in a tampered or broken condition, you must not use the contents. In addition, if the pills have exceeded the expiry date, don’t take them. Lodge a complaint with the online store that sold them to you. In this regard, always deal with a trustworthy internet pharmacy that guarantees to give your money back if the product is defective.

 

Some men are unsuitable for this medication, especially those who are at risk of an allergic reaction to finasteride or other ingredients in Propecia. While you are consulting with a doctor, you will be asked for details about your past medical history. Also tell the doctor if you are allergic to any food dyes, food preservatives, foods, or other medicines.

 

The same questions will require answers during an online consultation. You have to complete a detailed questionnaire giving this information. It is important for doctors to have knowledge of your medical background because finasteride is a powerful compound that can cause horrible side effects when taken by some men. After the doctor has evaluated your physical condition, you will be given a prescription if he or she feels that Propecia is safe for you.

 

IMPORTANT WARNING: If pregnant women handle a crushed or broken finasteride tablet, this is extremely dangerous. The active ingredient has been known to cause severe birth defects in unborn babies, especially boys. Furthermore, Propecia can harm older children so this medication must be stored in a place inaccessible to children or pets.

 

Although Propecia works very well, it can produce side effects, just like any drug. Some men suffer with a lack of sex drive, erectile problems, and a reduction in the amount of semen. Not all men experience these. Propecia can bring on other side effects like hives, breast swelling, breast tenderness, testicle pain, or itchiness. Fortunately, research indicates that only 2% of men complain of severe side effects. If you experience any excessive discomfort while using this drug, get medical help as quickly as possible.

 

It must be pointed out that Propecia will not cure male pattern baldness. It will only work while taking the tablets. When treatment stops, you will lose any re-growth within 12 months of cessation.
