Propecia, developed in 1992, is a drug that was used to treat prostate cancer in men until 1997 when it was approved by the FDA to treat male pattern baldness conditions in men. Propecia is taken orally, and has been proven to improve hair loss conditions in about 30-65% of the men who take it, so it is not a guaranteed cure for hair loss. It is most effective in the crown area, although Propecia has also proven to be effective in re stimulating hair growth around the hairline. In 2006, Merck’s patent on Propecia expired, allowing other companies such as Cipla and Ranbaxy to market generic versions of the drug with no infringement repercussions.Some of the offshoot, generic brands of Propecia (Finasteride) are Finax Finasteride, Fincar Finasteride, and Prosteride. After the patent expired, these medications were sold around the world in 5 milligram doses. The fact that the patent has expired has opened up doors for other drug companies other than Merck, to market finasteride in 5 milligram tablets as a treatment for male pattern baldness [buy propecia online].

Of course, with or without a patent, Propecia and its duplicates do have side effects. The active ingredient in Propecia is of course Finasteride. Finasteride has been proven to cause birth defects in women with unborn babies, even if not ingested. All a woman has to do to get finasteride into her system is to handle to the crumbs from crushed tablets, and it gets into the blood. It can also be transferred through breast milk, and finasteride certainly is not healthy for infants [buy propecia online].Propecia is a drug that is used to fight hair loss in men. Also called Finasteride, it has many risks and side effects that people should be aware of.After intensive study, Propecia was found to decrease sexual desire in 1.8% of males. 1.3% had problems with erection and 1.2% suffered from a decrease in semen volume ejaculated. To put it into perspective while 3.8% of men experiences some kind of sexual side effect, 2.1% of people using a placebo experienced the same problems, so the percentage of people who experienced sexual side effects because of Propecia is relatively small.

Another side effect that some people often complain about is that Propecia causes acne. Many people start taking it because of the self esteem issues that hair loss can cause. The development of acne can compound this problem. It’s interesting to note that there has been no evidence to support the claims that Propecia effects acne so you shouldn’t need to worry [buy propecia online].In addition, it was also found that the side effects are reversible when you stop taking Propecia. It is important to note, however, the Propecia needs to be taken indefinitely to be effective, so if you stop taking it because of these possible side effects, you will lose the benefit of the drug in the first place.Over the years Propecia has helped thousands of people in their fight against hair loss. Considering the fact that has helped so many people, the number who suffer any serious side effects are pretty small [buy propecia online].
