Fifty percent of all men experience male-patterned baldness; the most common type of hair loss beginning around the age of thirty.
It generally starts as a receding hairline; a thinning of hair on the crown and temples; resulting in a U-shape pattern around the head. In some rare cases, a male may end up completely bald.
The condition is genetic; caused by an abundance of the male hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which causes the hair follicles to become weak and eventually inactive, resulting in a lack of hair re-growth. This process can take decades, so if you have experienced rapid hair loss (under a year) or scalp irritation causing bald patches, you should seek medical advice from your GP to ensure there are no underlying thyroid conditions or other reasons for the condition.
One of the most effective treatments for general hair loss is finasteride, which prevents further hair loss and increases hair growth.
GET MOREhofProcesses necessary for finasteride to be effective are divided into two main categories: those that are taken at fixed times and those that are taken right at the right time. The first type include the 1mg tablets of finasteride and the 5mg tablets of Propecia, which are taken on an empty stomach 5 days per week.The 3mg tablets of finasteride and 5mg tablets of Propecia are taken on an empty stomach 3 times daily, so that approximately 20 mg of finasteride and 50 mg of Propecia are taken per day.

It is taken at a fixed time after a woman’s period of pregnancy, at the same time every day. It works by preventing the effects of the male hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) from mimicking, and in some cases, causing the hair follicles to become inactive, resulting in a lack of hair re-growth. This treatment then helps prevent further hair loss and makes it more difficult for the scalp to produce and maintain hair.
However, there are some rare but significant side effects of which the majority are sexual dysfunction such as:
If you experience these symptoms, stop using finasteride and getthreatening severe allergic reactions and require immediate medical attention. If you have any underlying health conditions, such as heart problems or a recent heart attack, you should see a GP immediately.
