What is it?
As mentioned on the overview page, Propecia is the first and only FDA-approved pill that has been proven to help treat male pattern hair loss.
How is it supposed to work?
Propecia consists of a pill taken once per day. Clinical trials have shown Propecia to work on the top of the head and middle-front of the head only; the drug (Finasteride) blocks the formation of DHT in the scalp. Propecia’s Web site cites a study where 86% of men using the medication maintained or grew new hair while using Propecia, while on 42% of men using a placebo (sugar pill) reported the same.
Cost:
The exact cost varies since Propecia is available only via prescription and pharmacy pricing can vary. However, expect to pay around $65 per month.
How to order:
First, you’ll need to speak with your doctor and obtain a prescription. From there, you can obtain Propecia from any pharmacy, including online pharmacies.
