Propecia is a once-a-day pill that treats male pattern hair loss on the vertex (the top of the head) and the anterior mid-scalp area (middle front of the head).
Propecia is developed and manufactured by the famous American pharmaceutical company ?€“ Merck and it is intended to men use only. Since its first introduction in 1998, Propecia has been used by approx. 1 million men worldwide.
Much like any other generic drug, generic Propecia (Finasteride) is biologically equal to the brand Propecia and it is simply manufactured and sold at lower price. Generic Propecia is actually equivalent to brand Propecia in its efficiency, strength, dosage, ingredients, safety and intended use.
Generic Propecia contains Finasteride which is the same ingredient that is used in brand Propecia. Nevertheless, Generic Propecia has the same effect and it is exactly as efficient as brand Propecia with treating hair loss.
Propecia reduces the amount of DHT by inhibiting the formation of DHT in the scalp and at the same time helps shrinking affected hair follicles. As a result, Propecia helps re-grow visible hair and reduces additional hair loss.
The once-a-day Propecia pill starts working from day one. It increases the number of hairs in the twelve months of treatment and helps growing thicker hair in hairless areas. First results may be noticeable within 3 months but regardless to that, using Propecia will significantly reduce hair loss through this period of time.
