Propecia

Propecia is a prescription medication mainly used to treat male pattern baldness. Its active ingredient, finasteride, works by blocking a enzyme that converts testosterone into a hormone called DHT, which is linked to hair loss. By reducing DHT levels, Propecia can help slow hair loss and, for some men, promote new hair growth. It's typically taken as a daily oral tablet and is most effective in the early stages of hair thinning. While generally well-tolerated, it can have side effects, so it's important to discuss its use with a healthcare provider.
