Return To Hair Loss Article Archive   Search the Article Archives Use Propecia for Making Hair Loss a Problem of Past By Alan Anderson Male pattern baldness is a common disease; its victims are in millions. Androgenic Alopecia, Alopecia in men; Baldness-male and Hair loss in men are some other names of this disease. Due to male pattern baldness hair become thin and fall easily. Slowly, remaining hair acquire shape of 'M' on head. Many associate this disease with age and stress but both of these factors don't play any important role in male pattern baldness. After achieving puberty, male pattern baldness can occur anytime. Late 20's to early 30's is the phase of life when male pattern baldness is most likely to occur. Testosterone is a hormone, secreted in the body of a male child to start the process of puberty. Development of muscles on chest, thighs, biceps; generation of pubic hair, moustaches, beard and stimulating the growth of genital organs are the few major changes brought by testosterone. Though, testosterone starts the growth of pubic hair, moustaches and beard, but its synthesis into DHT after accomplishment of its task, is murderous for hair of the head. DHT contracts size of hair follicles in the scalp and contracted hair follicles cannot hold and nourish hair, hence hair loss takes place. Progress of male pattern baldness is slow; slowness of the disease keeps people ignorant about hair fall. Thus, as a general phenomenon no preventive measure is taken against male pattern baldness. But, male pattern baldness can be treated with the help of Propecia. Propecia (finasteride) is a steroid Type II (a) reductase which synthesizes DHT into 5-Alpha DHT. Five-Alpha DHT is not a harmful substance for your hair. Propecia is a FDA approved oral-prescription drug. Approval of FDA is a mark of effectiveness and safety of this drug Propecia which is used for treating hair loss. Propecia pills come in the volume of 1mg and doctor generally prescribes for the same volume for hair loss treatment. One pill of Propecia should taken daily with a glassful of plain water, empty stomach is not needed before taking the dosage of Propecia. Chewing, breaking and crushing Propecia can bring some harmful changes in the chemical matrix of the drug; therefore these activities must be avoided. Overdosing Propecia in any case is strictly prohibited. Pruritus, hypersensitivity, and swelling of lips can be listed out as side effects of Propecia. The side effects are mild, short-lived and disappear after the use of drug for a few days. It is necessary to get doctors advice before using Propecia for hair loss. As exact results of Propecia on an embryo are not known therefore, while using Propecia sexual contact with the motive of having a child must be avoided. Conventional method of drug purchase is tedious, time consuming and money devouring, because you have to visit to a local pharmacist, who can charge relatively more price. An online purchase of Propecia saves time and also saves money. You can place your order through usage of a computer and online pharmacy delivers the drug at your doorstep.
