How
Propecia Works
Hair Loss
Falling hair is something that
every one nobody likes. It is
known that falling hair can
destroy one’s peace of
mind and transform their moods
and self-esteem. However, a
person does not necessarily
go through such an ordeal. This
is because of the availability
of a medication such as Propecia.
What is Propecia and
its Actions
Propecia is an FDA approved
drug that is known to be quite
successful. It is available
in the form of a pill that is
easily consumed. Usually, it
is consumed once a day, and
with this consumption most men
experience a great difference
in their hair growth. In some
cases, some men experience hair
growing back quickly after hair
loss has receded. At least two
out of three men notice hair
growing back in places where
they were totally bald.
The recommended time to allow
Propecia to act on your scalp
is 6 months. This means it is
not recommended that you start
it for a period less than that
believing that it won’t
work.
Propecia functions by targeting
what researchers believe to
be the main cause of hair loss.
A hormone known has DHT is believed
to be an active agent in causing
hair loss by interacting with
hair follicles. Propecia targets
this hormone and nullifies its
effects on follicles, thereby
slowing down the loss of hair
one experiences.
Once your follicles are safeguarded
from DHT, they cannot be damaged
and you will not lose anymore
hair. For those of you with
thinning hair as well, Propecia
is a recommended cure.
Side Effects of Propecia
Side Effects are very few and
fewer than 2% of men are known
to experience sexual side effects.
Some of the side effects include:
• reduced desire for
sex,
• impotence,
• decrease in semen content.
These side effects
are known to recede when Propecia
intake is halted.
Gender and Propecia
One must also note that Propecia
is only manufactured for men
and not women. Propecia is believed
to harmful for pregnant women
and even if a woman so much
as touches the pill when she
is pregnant it can cause deformities
in the child. This is because
of the active agent in the Propecia
pill. It must be particularly
noted that if the baby in the
womb is a male, its sexual organs
may be damaged.
You should note that Propecia
can cause changes in sexual
functions. These are mostly
temporary, but if they are prolonged
it is better for you to see
a doctor. Symptoms of Propecia
causing poisonous effects in
your body include:
• swollen lips
• skin rashes
• hives
You should not waste any time
when poisoning symptoms occur,
and a doctor’s advice
should be consulted as soon
as possible.
While using Propecia for hair
treatment, try not to miss out
on doses. However, if you miss
out on a dose, do not try to
make up for it. Simply go to
the next one.
