| Generic Propecia is a one-a-day, FDA-approved, treatment for male pattern hair loss at the crown or in the middle of the scalp (androgenetic alopecia).Generic Propecia has the same active ingredient as brand name Propecia, and is equivalent in effect, strength, and dosage.
Studies have shown that 9 out of 10 men experience visible improvement in hair quality within three months of using Generic Propecia; losing less of the hair they have and growing new real hair not peach fuzz.
How does Generic Propecia work?
Generic Propecia works just like its brand name equivalent, by decreasing the amount of the naturally occurring hormone (DHT) in the scalp. This helps to limit hair loss and increases hair re-growth on the scalp without affecting hair growth on other parts of the body. In order to attain lasting and visible results you must take Generic Propecia daily, without food and preferably at the same time each day. You must continue to use Generic Propecia to maintain any hair quantity. Men who stop using Generic Propecia should expect to lose any re-growth within twelve months.
Will it work?
Generic Propecia works in over 90% of cases, however the active ingredient in the drug can take from three to twelve months to have any noticeable impact on the condition of your hair. Generic Propecia is a long-term medication and can take up to 2 years to fully stabilize. However, if you can not discern any improvement in the condition of your hair after a year you should consult your doctor.
Does Generic Propecia have any side effects?
Generic Propecia has little or no side effects. Some patients report a decreased libido (sexual desire) or a reduction in the amount of semen they produce during ejaculation. However, these symptoms are not dangerous and disappear if the treatment is stopped. Allergic reactions to Generic Propecia are extremely rare but if you experience any (e.g., rash, severe dizziness, itching or trouble breathing), stop taking the drug immediately and seek advice from a medical practitioner. This is not a comprehensive list of side effects and you should tell your doctor if you experience any serious physical changes after taking Generic Propecia.
Can anyone take Generic Propecia?
Generic Propecia was designed to treat hair loss on the vertex (top of the head) and the mid-scalp area in men only. There is not yet sufficient evidence to show that Generic Propecia can be used to treat hair loss at the temples. The active ingredient in Generic Propecia can be absorbed through the skin if the film on the pill is broken or the pill itself is crushed, therefore pregnant women or women planning to get pregnant should not handle this medicine. Drugs containing the active ingredient Finasteride can affect the results of blood tests measuring PSA levels (i.e., prostate cancer tests). If you're planning on taking a blood test you should inform your doctor or the laboratory staff at your clinic that you are taking Generic Propecia.
