Description
Propecia
If you are concerned with hair loss on your head and this is becoming an increasingly serious problem, try using Propecia. The drug prevents the destruction of the main male sex hormone, testosterone. This increases the activity of the hair follicles, which in turn causes hair growth.
Prescribing Information
Propecia tablets are indicated for the therapy of the most common form of baldness in men – androgenic alopecia. The drug is intended for adult men only.
- Propecia increases the amount of hair on the middle of the scalp and at the crown.
- The drug does not affect the growth of hair on other parts of the body.
To prevent further problems with hair loss, Propecia is best used in the initial stage of alopecia. Long-term androgenic alopecia can destroy a large number of hair follicles and will require longer treatment.
Dosage
To boost the hair growthprocess, patients should take one Propecia 1mg tablet per day. It is better that 24 hours pass between the dosing.
Bioavailability of Propecia does not depend on meals. Therefore, patients can take Propecia tablets at any convenient time of the day, before, during or after a meal.
Although Propecia does not cause dose-related adverse effects, the daily dose should not be exceeded. The use of two doses of Propecia 1mg (or more) per day does not increase the effectiveness of anti-baldness treatment in men.
Interactions
Clinical trials studied the interaction of Propecia with drugs for the treatment of epileptic seizures, high blood pressure, pain, arthritis, inflammation, mental, acid-dependent and other diseases.
Studies have shown that Propecia is well tolerated by patients and rarely interacts with other drugs. No evidence was of significant adverse interactions of Propecia with other drugs have not been established.
Side effects
The results of clinical trials and post-marketing studies reveled the side effects of Propecia. These include worsening of erectile function, ejaculation problems, lower sex drive, depression,episode of hives, rash and itching.
Propecia usually accelerates the growth of hair on the head without any noticeable adverse reactions. Most side effects are of mild to moderate intensity.
If these adverse reactions pass, they usually disappear by themselves or after Propecia discontinuation. The longer Proceptia 1 mg tablets are taken, the fewer risks of side effects.
Tips
Patience is required during the treatment of alopecia. The process of restoring the health of the hair follicle can last 3-6 months after the start of anti-baldness treatment with Propecia 1mgtablets.
After the completion of the first treatmentcourse, people should not remain on the results achieved. Repeated courses of treatment will prevent repeated hair loss.
To obtain maximum results from treatment, Propecia should be taken within 24 months. During further treatment, the effectiveness of the drug slowly reduces, yet the benefit-risk balance remains positive.
