Propecia
Propecia Uses:
Propecia is a remedy for baldness in men with mild to moderate hair loss on
the top of the head and the front of the mid-scalp area. It increases hair
growth, improves hair regrowth, and slows down hair loss. It works only on
scalp hair and does not affect hair on other parts of the body. You
may begin to see improvement as early as 3 months after you begin taking
Propecia, but for many men it takes longer. The improvement lasts only as
long as you take the drug; if you stop, new hair growth will cease and hair
loss will resume.
Propecia is a low-dose form of Proscar, a drug prescribed for prostate
enlargement.
How to take Propecia:
For maximum benefit, take Propecia regularly once a day. It can be taken
with or without food. --If you miss a dose... Take it as soon as you
remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed
and go back to your regular schedule. Do not take 2 doses at the same time.
Propecia Important Notes:
Propecia is NOT for use by women. If taken during pregnancy, it can cause
abnormal development of a male baby's genital organs. Avoid even
touching the active ingredient in Propecia if there's a chance that you're
pregnant.
Propecia Side Effects:
Propecia's side effects are primarily sexual, and
relatively uncommon--they strike one or two men in a hundred. If any side
effects develop or change in intensity, inform your doctor as soon as
possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue
taking Propecia.
Propecia Precautions:
Due to the drug's effect on male babies, women should avoid Propecia if
there is any chance that they may be pregnant.
Do not use Propecia if it gives you an allergic reaction, or if you've ever
had an allergic reaction to its chemical twin, Proscar.
Propecia Drug Interactions:
No significant drug interactions have been reported.
Propecia Overdose:
Although no specific information is available on
Propecia overdose, any medication taken in excess can have serious
consequences. If you suspect an overdose, seek medical attention
immediately.
Propecia Storage:
Store at room temperature away from sunlight and moisture. Keep Propecia and all
medications out of the reach of children.
