Propecia is a drug used to treat male pattern baldness. Male pattern baldness is condition common in many men and results in the hair on the crown or middle of the scalp to fall out. It is genetic and does not affect the health of a man in any way. Many men, however, find that loss of hair, particularly at an early age, causes a loss of self-esteem. Cosmetically, most men prefer a full head of hair as hair loss is perceived by some as being unattractive.
Propecia works by decreasing a natural hormone in the body, called DHT. Lower DHT levels permit greater hair growth and a slower rate of hair loss. Another positive side effect that some studies allege is that it also reduces the size of a man’s prostate. The prescribed dosage is usually one pill a day, crushed up and taken with or without food. It typically takes approximately three months to see any effects on the scalp.

The drug was first introduced in 1997 by the drug company giant Merck. Dr. Julianne L. Imperator-McGinley developed the drug and filed a patent for it in 1984. Merck marketed the product as Propecia, but you often see other companies marketing it using a form of the generic name, finasteride.
There are some side effects of the drug that were not known when the product was first introduced. Some, but not all, men using the drug experienced sexually related side effects. Most recent studies state that 2% of men may experience these side effects. These included loss of sexual desire and erectile dysfunction. The FDA in 2012 ordered the drug manufacturers to add a warning label on all containers of Propecia or finasteride.
There are some reports of cognitive side effects that are being studied now. Some users have reported neurological problems that they associated with taking the drug. There is no hard evidence to support these claims, and clinical studies will take several years to complete. The reports have occurred in less than 1% of users.
Doctors recommend that women, especially pregnant women or women seeking to become pregnant, should not use or handle the drug. There is a risk that any male fetus may develop atrophied genitals or may otherwise be adversely affected by the DHT found in the drug.
Propecia can be bought through most pharmacies in the United States and Europe. The average price in a brick and mortar store for Propecia or generic finasteride products is about the same. A month’s supply costs about $50-$70 dollars. Buying the drug online can save you some money. Many online pharmacies sell a 30-day supply for around $35 dollars.
