Propecia is the most effective drug used for the treatment of male pattern hair loss, also called, androgenetic alopecia in men. The generic name of Propecia is Finasteride and it is marketed by Merck and Co pharmaceuticals. Approved by the FDA for treatment of male pattern baldness, Propecia has been in use since 1997. Propecia is clinically proven drug and is one of the most prescribed treatments for male pattern hair loss.

Finasteride, the active ingredient in Propecia, belongs to a group of medicines called 5 alpha reductase inhibitors. Finasteride works by preventing the enzyme Type II 5 alpha-reductase from converting testosterone into DHT (dihydrotestosterone). This is because male pattern baldness occurs when the levels of DHT increase beyond its normal limit in some men. The action of DHT can shrink the hair follicle until it no longer produces visible hair. Thus by reducing the production of DHT to its normal levels Propecia helps to increase new hair growth and prevent further hair loss.

For effective results, one needs to take 1mg Propecia pill once a day with or without food. Ideally, one should consume Propecia at the same time every day. It takes about three months of regular Propecia usage before any effect is noticed on the hair growth. One needs to continue using finasteride to maintain hair growth. On discontinuation of Propecia dosage any gain in hair quantity is lost within 12 months.
