What is Propecia?
|
Finasteride is a drug produced by Merck
under the name Propecia. It was originally prescribed to treat benign prostate
enlargement (BPH) by shutting down the enzyme that converts the hormone testosterone
into a different form, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which, in turn, causes prostate
tissue to grow. DHT has the opposite effect on hair folicles, shrinking them. By
reducing DHT production, fiansteride appears to halt the process.
In fact, most balding men who currently take the drug have experienced noticeable
improvement on their pates, but not elsewhere on their bodies. Finasteride
has few side effects. |
