How PROPECIA Works

08.01.2009 in Uncategorized

Reduces DHTa, a key cause of hair loss

PROPECIA significantly reduces DHT, a key cause of hair loss, by inhibiting the formation of DHT in your scalp.

Lowering DHT appears to inhibit the further shrinking of affected hair follicles.

DHT is a substance in the body that can shrink the hair follicle until it no longer produces visible hair. Scientists believe DHT and family history are key factors in hair loss. Learn more about the causes of male pattern hair loss.

DHT shrinks hair follicles. PROPECIA blocks the formation of DHT.

aDHT=dihydrotesterone.

PROPECIA blocks the formation of DHT and, in this way, appears to interrupt the development of male pattern hair loss.

PROPECIA helps reduce further hair loss and regrow visible hair.

PROPECIA is the first and only FDA-approved pill proven to treat male pattern hair loss on the vertex (top of head) and anterior mid-scalp area (middle front of head) in men.

Important Information About PROPECIA

PROPECIA was developed to treat mild to moderate male pattern hair loss on the vertex (top of head) and anterior mid-scalp area (middle front of head) in MEN ONLY. There is not sufficient evidence that PROPECIA works for receding hairlines at the temples.

PROPECIA is for the treatment of male pattern hair loss in MEN ONLY and should NOT be used by women or children.

Women who are or may potentially be pregnant must not use PROPECIA and should not handle crushed or broken PROPECIA tablets because the active ingredient may cause abnormalities of a male baby’s sex organs. If a woman who is pregnant comes into contact with the active ingredient in PROPECIA, a doctor should be consulted. PROPECIA tablets are coated and will prevent contact with the active ingredient during normal handling, provided that the tablets are not broken or crushed.

In clinical studies for PROPECIA, a small number of men experienced certain sexual side effects, such as less desire for sex, difficulty in achieving an erection, or a decrease in the amount of semen. Each of these side effects occurred in less than 2% of men and went away in men who stopped taking PROPECIA because of them.

You may need to take PROPECIA daily for 3 months or more before you see a benefit from taking PROPECIA. If PROPECIA has not worked for you within 12 months, further treatment is unlikely to be of benefit.

PROPECIA can only work over the long term if you continue taking it. If you stop taking PROPECIA, you will likely lose any hair you have gained within 12 months of stopping treatment.

Although results will vary, generally you will not be able to grow back all the hair you have lost.

Know the facts. PROPECIA is available by prescription only, so the best thing to do is talk with your doctor.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Causes of Hair Loss in Women

07.01.2009 in FEMALE HAIR LOSS

We should never underestimate how important our hair is as we know how often we judge someone by the hairstyle they have when we meet. Additionally, consider how much time is spent ensuring our hair looks ok before we go out in public. The problem with hair loss it affects both sexes and reduces the self confidence of the majority of sufferers.

What causes of hair loss in women?

Generally female pattern baldness or hair loss is genetic. If it runs in your family then you are at an increased risk for hair loss. Additionally, hair follicles on certain areas of a woman’s head are more likely to be affected by hormonal changes as they get older.

Treatment for pattern baldness women is by the use of the sex development hormone we all produce called DHT which is at least a step in the right direction. Some shampoos and topical medications stimulates the scalp and helps to reverse the hair loss and then pills like Propecia (men only) or Biostim (for both men and women) help control the hormone DHT that affects the hair follicles. Another treatment used to control pattern baldness is transplanting hair follicles from areas of the scalp which are not affected by increased amounts of DHT.

Both men and women can suffer with pattern-baldness which is caused by a hormone common to both sexes referred to as DHT; this hormone is just one responsible for the sexual development of humans but fortunately it is possible to treat this. To help reduce the amount of DHT in the hair follicles, products like Propecia or Biostim are available or you can also use a shampoo ormedication like Minoxidil (Rogaine) or Vitasim to help increase the growth of hair. Another treatment used to control pattern baldness is transplanting hair follicles from areas of the scalp which are not affected by increased amounts of DHT.

Our hair actually stops growing for a couple of months or so during a 2 to 6 year cycle and around one tenth of our hair is in this state at any one time. While in the growing phase, hair will gain approximately 1 centimeter a month. It is normal to experience hair loss every day as part of this resting and growing cycle. Some women experience excessive hair loss from a variety of other causes.

Many reasons for hair loss are circulated like wearing a hat, stress, sweat or even poor circulation but these are all untrue. With the exception of stress, none of these factors has been proven as a definitive cause of hair loss but stress is also not very likely unless you have undergone extreme physical or psychological torture. Fortunately this hair loss is can also be temporary in nature.

Some other reasons for hair loss are illness, medical treatment, depression medication, infections of the scalp, even too much vitamin A. This is a huge problem that will take some time to cure fully. Meanwhile existing remedies will need to be used more thoroughly if hair loss is to be controlled.
