The company is launching a new hair loss treatment called Propecia, which will cost $74 for a month’s supply and come in 1.2 million patches.
The hair loss drugs are designed to combat male pattern baldness by stimulating hair follicles and preventing further growth.
Propecia will be sold in the United States for $74 for a month’s supply, compared with $18 for a month’s supply of the same strength that’s available for sale over the counter.
The company said it is “continue to follow up with our dermatologists” to see if the hair loss treatments will help people who are suffering from hair loss.
The FDA has approved Propecia’s potential to inhibit or halt the growth of new hair in men. It is also indicated in women who are at increased risk of certain types of cancer or other diseases.
A study in March concluded that the hair loss drugs may help promote hair growth in women, as well as in men with androgenetic alopecia.
The drugs target enzymes that cause hair follicles to shrink and eventually stop growing new hair. Propecia, the most popular of the drugs, is not licensed to treat male pattern baldness.
Dr. Marcia Angell, one of the country’s leading experts on hair loss, said it’s important to discuss with doctors and other health care providers who have the knowledge and expertise to prescribe and prescribe Propecia to people suffering from hair loss.
“Propecia is not a cure-all, but it is an effective treatment option for men who are experiencing hair loss and can benefit from it,” said Angell.
The FDA also approved the drug’s use to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition that causes urinary problems in men. This includes an enlarged prostate, which can affect a person’s ability to have an erection.
Women who are interested in taking the drugs may wish to see a dermatologist at a dermatology clinic and see if the drugs will help them develop a hair loss condition.
In addition to Propecia, the FDA is also conducting clinical trials for several other hair loss drugs, including minoxidil (Rogaine), topical minoxidil (Rogaine Gel), and topical minoxidil gel.

Tagged: hair loss pillsPropecia, or finasteride, has the potential to treat a number of conditions, such as hair loss, and has received some FDA approval for use in treating male pattern baldness in men.
It’s also been studied as a treatment for androgenetic alopecia, or male pattern baldness. Hair loss is a common condition, and finasteride can slow or even stop hair loss in men.
There is also a possibility that Propecia may prevent men from getting or maintaining an erection during sex.
This is because finasteride blocks the body’s production of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone, which causes hair follicles to shrink. Without the decrease in dihydrotestosterone, hair loss in men will occur.
In one study, a study of 1,081 men taking finasteride in a 6-week trial found that men taking the drug experienced an average of 1.8 hairs per scalp, which was the average increase in the number of hairs. That is about three times greater than those who were not taking the drug.
The drug also has side effects, such as sexual dysfunction, decreased libido, and erectile dysfunction.
The FDA has not approved Propecia for sale in the United States.
For more information about Propecia, talk to a dermatologist or visit.

I would really like to know if I would ever be able to get a prescription for Finasteride. I've read on a few websites that they can prescribe it for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). This has been my experience with Finasteride and I'm now considering this drug. The risks seem to be very low, but the benefits seem to outweigh any potential side effects. However, I have a very important question for anyone who would like to know more about Finasteride. Is Finasteride (Propecia) a safe option for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia? I am a long-time patient of Propecia (finasteride). Is this safe to use? What about long-term treatment options?
If you are interested in learning more about this drug, I would really appreciate it.

The only risks I can think of are:
Any ideas from this forum or anyone who has tried it?
March 24, 2009, 1:16pm4Propecia seems to be one of the better alternatives to Propecia in terms of effectiveness and side effects. The side effects of Finasteride are very minimal and there is no evidence that it can help. If you ever have questions about Propecia, please don't hesitate to ask.
I've used Propecia and Finasteride. I have a very low risk of prostate cancer. It is a fairly good choice and will work as well as Propecia. I have been taking finasteride for about a year now. I started taking Propecia at the start of my period and have been very healthy. I can still get a prescription for Propecia from the pharmacy.
Propecia is a very effective and safe drug for men who are looking to start treatment with finasteride. I had a very bad experience with Propecia when I was on it. I was very angry and told my doctor that I didn't want to get finasteride, but I was told that I would have to take Propecia for the rest of my life. The doctors gave me a prescription for Propecia. I took 1 mg of Finasteride every day for about 3 months. I don't remember the exact dose, but I had to take it for about 5 years because I had a high risk of prostate cancer.
It is possible to get Finasteride in the form of Propecia for a small number of dollars, but that is an extremely small price difference. The risk of prostate cancer is very low, and it is not worth the price difference. I would strongly advise anyone who is taking Finasteride to talk to their doctor about it. They can give you a prescription.
I think it would be great if someone could tell me more about this drug. I'm not an expert on this medication, but I'm aware of the side effects. If you're looking for something like Finasteride, don't waste your time or money. Get a prescription and then take Finasteride. Do not take this medicine if it is not safe for you. It's just not as effective.
I have read that people with a high risk of prostate cancer are less likely to get Finasteride. I don't think Finasteride is the answer. I am still in my 40s and have had no negative side effects. I was a teenager and took Propecia at the age of 20.
Stop taking Finasteride 1 mg Tablets and immediately contact a doctor if you have any of the following experience:
Uncommon (may affect up to 1 in 100 people):-
Not known: frequency
In some cases, sexual dysfunction and psychiatric side effects have persisted in patients even after they have stopped taking finasteride.
Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not handle broken or crushed finasteride tablets. If finasteride is absorbed through the skin or taken by mouth by a woman pregnant with a male foetus, the child may be born with malformed genital organs. The tablets are film-coated, which prevents contact with finasteride provided the tablets are not broken or crushed.
