Propecia

What is it?

Composition

Propecia contains the active ingredient finasteride, which plays a key role in the fight against hair loss. Its action is based on reducing the level of dihydrotestosterone, a hormone that affects hair follicles.

• Finasteride
• Excipients that ensure the stability of the tablet form and their digestibility
• Tablet coating to facilitate intake and protect the active substance from destruction

The composition of the drug is carefully selected to achieve maximum effectiveness with minimal impact on the body. This makes Propecia a popular remedy among those looking for an effective method to combat hair loss.

How to use?

To achieve the best results and minimize side effects, it is important to take Propecia correctly. The drug is taken orally with a full glass of water. For the convenience of the patient, it can be taken with or without food.

1. Take the tablet daily at the same time to maintain a constant level of the drug in the body.
2. Do not chew or break the tablet to avoid loss of effectiveness and irritation of the stomach lining.

Following these instructions will help facilitate the treatment process and speed up the achievement of positive results. An important part of successful therapy is regular consultation with your doctor regarding the dosage and duration of the course.

How does it work?

Propecia works by preventing the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the body. DHT is a hormone that plays a significant role in hair loss in men. By reducing DHT levels, Propecia helps slow down the balding process.

The drug not only retains existing hair, but also helps to partially restore it in some cases. The level of effectiveness may vary from patient to patient, and noticeable results may take time.

Propecias active ingredients penetrate deep into the cells, directly affecting the processes that slow hair growth. This allows for more lasting results compared to other treatments.
