What is generic Propecia?
Generic PROPECIA ® is a medical breakthrough - the first pill that effectively treats male pattern hair loss on the vertex (at top of head) and anterior mid-scalp area. How does Propecia work? Scientist have recently discovered that men who suffer from male pattern hair loss have an increased level of a substance called DHT in their scalps. Generic PROPECIA ® blocks the formation of DHT and in this way appears to interrupt a key factor in the development of male pattern hair loss in men. Most important, generic PROPECIA ® helps grow natural hair, and is as convenient to take as a vitamin: one pill a day.
Does generic Propecia ® work for all men?
At the conclusion of a 24-month study of men age 18 to 41 with mild to moderate hair loss at the top of the head, 83% treated with generic PROPECIA ® maintained their hair as determined by hair count (vs. 28% with placebo). Most men reported an increase in the amount of hair, a decrease in hair loss, and improvement in appearance. Although results will vary, generally men will not be able to grow back all of the hair they have lost.
What is generic Propecia's ® success rate?
Based on vertex studies at 24 months of men 18 to 41 with mild to moderate hair loss, the clinical results of generic PROPECIA ® are impressive: 83% maintained their hair based on hair count (vs. 28% with placebo), 66% had visible re-growth as rated by independent dermatologists (vs. 7% with placebo), 80% were rated as improved by clinical doctors (vs. 47% with placebo), and most men reported an increase in the amount of hair, a decrease in hair loss, and improvement in appearance. Only a doctor can determine if generic PROPECIA ® is right for you.
Generic Propecia ® is for men only.
You may need to take generic PROPECIA ® daily for 3 months or more to see visible results. Generic PROPECIA ® may not re-grow all your hair. And if you stop using this product, you will gradually lose the hair you have gained. There is not sufficient evidence that generic PROPECIA ® works for recession at the temporal areas. If you haven’t seen results after 12 months of using generic PROPECIA ®, further treatment is unlikely to be of benefit. Taken once a day in tablet form, generic PROPECIA ® is simple, easy, and - most important clinically demonstrated to be effective in most men.
What are Generic Propecia's side effects?
Like all prescription drugs, generic PROPECIA ® may cause side effects. In clinical studies, side effects from generic PROPECIA ® were uncommon and did not affect most men. A very small number of men experienced certain sexual side effects, such as: less desire for sex; difficulty in achieving an erection; and a decrease in the amount of semen. Each of these side effects occurred in less than 2% of men. These side effects were reversible and went away in men who stopped taking generic PROPECIA ®. These side effects also disappeared in most men (58%) who continued taking generic PROPECIA ®.
Is Generic Propecia ® safe?
Generic PROPECIA ® is for the treatment of male pattern hair loss in MEN ONLY. Further, women who are or may potentially be pregnant must not use generic PROPECIA ® and should not handle crushed or broken tablets of generic PROPECIA ® because it may cause abnormalities of a male baby's sex organs. Generic PROPECIA ® tablets are coated and will prevent contact with the active ingredient during normal handling.
