1). What is PROPECIA?®
PROPECIA® is a medical breakthrough. The first pill that effectively treats male pattern hair loss on the vertex (at top of head) and anterior mid-scalp area.

2). Does PROPECIA® really work?
Based on vertex studies at 24 months of men 18 to 41 with mild to moderate hair loss, the clinical results of PROPECIA® are impressive:
83% maintained their hair based on hair count (vs. 28% with placebo), 66% had visible regrowth as rated by independent dermatologists (vs. 7% with placebo), 80 % were rated as improved by clinical doctors (vs. 47% with placebo), and most men reported an increase in the amount of hair, a decrease in hair loss, and improvement in appearance.

Only a doctor can determine if PROPECIA® is right for you. PROPECIA® is for men only. Further, women who are or may potentially be pregnant must not use PROPECIA® and should not handle crushed or broken tablets because it may cause abnormalities of a male baby's sex organs. PROPECIA® tablets are coated and will prevent contact with the active ingredient during normal handling.

You may need to take PROPECIA® daily for 3 months or more to see visible results. PROPECIA® may not regrow all your hair. And if you stop using this product, you will gradually lose the hair you have gained. There is not sufficient evidence that PROPECIA®works for recession at the temporal areas. If you haven't seen results after 12 months of using PROPECIA®, further treatment is unlikely to be of benefit.

Like all prescription products, PROPECIA® may cause side effects. In clinical studies, a very small number of men experienced certain side effects, such as: less desire for sex, difficulty in achieving an erection, and a decrease in the amount of semen. Each of these side effects occurred in less than 2% of men. These side effects were reversible and went away in men who stopped taking the PROPECIA®. They also disappeared in most men (58%) who continued taking PROPECIA®.

Taken once a day in tablet form, PROPECIA® is simple, easy, and -most important- clinically demonstrated to be effective in most men. PROPECIA® helps grow natural hair not just "peach fuzz" and is as convenient to take as a vitamin: one pill a day.

3). How does PROPECIA® work?
Scientist have recently discovered that men who suffer from male pattern hair loss have an increased level of a substance called DHT in their scalps. PROPECIA® blocks the formation of DHT and in this way appears to interrupt a key factor in the development of male pattern hair loss in men. Most important, PROPECIA ® helps grow natural hair, not just "peach fuzz," and is as convenient to take as a vitamin: one pill a day.
