Appearance in the modern world is very important to many people and as we get older appearance becomes even more important but in some men the ageing process can result in hair loss. Thankfully, there are many options to aid in hair re-growth, one of those is Propecia.

Propecia begins to work from the first day of treatment and has been demonstrated effective in most men shown in United States Food and Drug Administration approved clinical trials. In these trails 2 out of 3 men taking Propecia actually re-grew hair, as measured by actual hair counts; whereas all the men in the study not taking Propecia lost hair. The convenient, once-a-day pill operates by lowering the amount of DHT in your scalp.

The manufacturers of Propecia Merck, have demonstrated that DHT is a substance in the body that can shrink the hair follicle until it no longer produces visible hair. Scientists believe DHT and family history are key factors in hair loss. Whilst results will vary from man to man, generally you will not be able to grow back all the hair you have lost without some form of treatment; even then it is not guaranteed that all the lost hair that has been lost will be recovered.

From the moment you starting taking Propecia you may see a decrease in hair loss beginning in as little as 3 months but by 6 to 12 months, you may see new hair growth. If after 12 months Propecia is not working, it is unlikely to be of benefit and you may want to try a different hair loss treatment. Studies have shown that if you stop taking Propecia, you will begin to lose any hair you’ve gained 12 months after stopping treatment. Propecia has been used by more than 1 million men in the United States since the introduction in 1998 of the drug

Studies show that Propecia begins to work from day 1 and has been demonstrated in studies to be effective in most men. In clinical trials, two out of three men on Propecia experienced re-growth of hair as measured by actual hair counts and the once-a-day pill works to lower the amount of DHT in your scalp.

A small number of men taking Propecia experienced certain sexual side effects, such as less desire for sex, difficulty in achieving an erection, or a decrease in the amount of semen. These side effects occurred in less than 2 percent of men and ceased when men stopped taking Propecia.
