Consult your doctor before starting Propecia. This medication, containing finasteride, treats male pattern baldness by reducing dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels. DHT is a hormone contributing to hair loss.
Propecia comes in 1mg tablets. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on your individual needs and health history. Commonly, a single 1mg tablet is taken daily.
Expect results gradually. Hair regrowth is often observed after three to six months of consistent use. Maintaining consistent daily intake is crucial for optimal results. Results may vary significantly between individuals.
Potential side effects include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculation disorders. These effects are usually mild and temporary, ceasing upon discontinuation. However, inform your doctor immediately if you experience any concerning side effects.
Propecia is not suitable for women or children. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should avoid contact with crushed or broken tablets due to the risk of birth defects in male fetuses. Proper handling is imperative.
Store Propecia tablets in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
