Propecia is a drug commonly prescribed for male pattern hair loss. While some individuals might experience some degree of hair loss, this is often temporary. The drug has been approved by the FDA for use in treating male pattern baldness and has been available over the counter.
Propecia works by inhibiting the enzyme PDE5 (phosphodiesterase type 5), which plays a crucial role in the breakdown of cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate (cGMP). This leads to an increase in cGMP levels in the scalp, leading to the growth of hair follicles and their eventual closure.
The usual starting dose for Propecia is 1mg per day, taken once daily at least 3 months before the appearance of hair in the face or scalp.
While Propecia can be a useful treatment for male pattern baldness, it's important to note that the medication can have side effects, including:

For some men, finasteride may be the best choice. It works by slowing the growth and, sometimes, stopping the progression of hair loss. For some men, finasteride may be the only treatment available to stop the progression of hair loss or to reduce the discomfort associated with male pattern baldness.
For men, finasteride is approved to be used in men with an enlarged prostate. It’s also sometimes used to treat male pattern hair loss in women. Finasteride is also sometimes used to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is a medical condition that affects the enlarged prostate, and symptoms of BPH include difficulty in beginning urine production, urinary incontinence, frequent urination, and frequent infections of the bladder, among many other conditions.
Some men with BPH also experience hair loss. For some men, hair loss may be the result of prostate cancer. For example, men with prostate cancer may experience hair loss when treated with finasteride or Propecia (finasteride 1mg tablets).
Finasteride works by inhibiting 5-alpha-reductase, an enzyme in the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone in the prostate that causes hair loss. Finasteride reduces DHT levels by preventing the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Propecia (finasteride 1mg tablets) is another drug used to treat male pattern hair loss. Propecia reduces the amount of DHT by blocking the enzyme in the scalp that converts testosterone to DHT.
For some men, finasteride is the best treatment available. It may be the only treatment available for male pattern hair loss or BPH. For example, men treated with finasteride 1mg may not be able to use any other hair loss treatments.
