Baldness is typically characterised by excessive hair loss from scalp. This can be result of hereditary, underlying metabolic disorders or even use of certain medications. The fact is that any man can experience hair loss at any stage of their life. Some men take it as a part of life, while some others may try to hide it with some different hair styles, hats or wigs. But there is another group of men who try to solve the problem by seeking medical help. The treatment of hair loss with medicines is found to be very effective. Apart from surgery and hair transplantation, physicians like to promote oral treatment.

There are drugs that have good success rate with regrowth, including the medically proven Propecia. The relation between baldness and Propecia started some 20 years ago when the active chemical Finasteride in Propecia was proved to inhibit the production of Dihydrotestosterone or DHT. DHT actually shrinks the hair follicles on the scalp and over the time DHT sprouts thinner hairs until no hair grows. Many patients using Propecia experience a slowing of hair loss and some also experience some new hair growth.

Finasteride in works by inhibiting the conversion of testosterones into dihydrotestosterone. It blocks the production of DHT which results in stopping hair loss and a more normal hair growth may occur.

In clinical studies, it has been found that most of the people using Propecia continuously for one year grew moderate amount of hair and the number inched from most to majority when used for 2 years. But isn't only Propecia's ability to grow hair that interest doctors. There are genuine evidences that Propecia helps men stop losing hair they have. So doctors say that betting for Propecia will at least keep what you have.

The good thing about Propecia is it has no potentially unsettling side affects. Though it has been associated with side affects like reduced sex drive, nausea; but these side affects tend to disappear as the body gets adapted to it within few days. However, men taking Propecia should confirm about its usage from a doctor.
