Propecia (finasteride) is a medicine intended for use in males only and effective in the treatment of male pattern baldness. Propecia works in most cases and effectively prevents testosterone from converting into another hormone DHT thought to be responsible for hair loss. Do not stop the treatment without discussing it with your doctor. Propecia is not a cure rather than a treatment for hairloss, which means you will lose your hair if you stop the treatment. Because you will need to take this medicine for a long time you must discus any other medical conditions you have as well as drugs you are taking to prevent interactions.
