Causes of Hair Loss
 
The most common cause of hair loss is a hereditary condition known as male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia. This is where the genes and hormones in your body have a shrinking effect on your hair follicles, making them ineffective at growing new hairs. The affected hairs become thinner and lighter in colour. Eventually some hairs become impossible to see making you look bald. If left untreated, male pattern baldness will tend to get worse with time.

Despite being a common condition male pattern baldness can seriously affect the confidence, and if this is the case for you then it matters.

Treatments
 
Propecia (finasteride) is the only prescription medicine in the UK for male pattern baldness. It is a 5 alpha reductase inhibitor. It is a tan octagonal tablet available in just one strength - 1mg. It works by blocking the enzyme, Type II 5 alpha-reductase, and in doing so it reduces the level of the hormone in the scalp which shortens the hair growth cycle and allows hairs to revert to a normal growth cycle. This can result in stopping further hair loss and increasing new hair growth in men with male pattern baldness.

Continuous use once a day for 3–6 months is required before benefit is seen, and effects are reversed 6–12 months after treatment is discontinued so continuous use is recommended to sustain benefit.

Trials conducted on thousands of men have shown that after 2 years of use two thirds of men showed increased hair growth. 4 out of 5 of men in the trial showed no further hair loss.

When taken at the recommended dose, the possible side effects of propecia are usually mild and generally have not caused the men to stop taking the medicine.

Possible side effects include testicular pain , decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, decreased volume of ejaculate, breast tenderness and enlargement; rashes, itching and swelling of the lips and face.

Propecia should only be taken if prescribed by a registered doctor. It is only for men and is not for use in children and adolescents.

'Propecia' should not be taken by men who are taking proscar (finasteride 5 mg) or any other 5α-reductase inhibitor for benign prostatic hyperplasia or any other condition.

The recommended dose of propecia is 1mg per day.
