Propecia Product Information

What is Propecia?

PROPECIA is a hair loss treatment from Merck and it is the first pill that effectively treats male pattern hair loss on the vertex (at top of head) and anterior mid-scalp area.

Propecia Facts and Figures

PROPECIA is used for the treatment of male pattern hair loss on the vertex (at the top of the head) and the anterior mid-scalp.

Based on two 24-month vertex studies of men ages 18 to 41 with mild to moderate hair loss, the clinical results of PROPECIA are impressive:

83% maintained their hair based on hair count (vs. 28% with placebo), 66% had visible regrowth 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 PROPECIA is right for you. PROPECIA is for MEN ONLY.

Women who are or may potentially be pregnant must not use PROPECIA because the active ingredient may cause abnormalities of a male baby's sex organs.

Propecia is a prescription medicine

Propecia is a prescription only medicine and can only be bought after a registered Doctor has prescribed it to you. Our online prescription process is really easy. After you fill out and submit the online consultation form, a licensed G.M.C Doctor will determine if you are eligible to benefit from Propecia.

How Propecia Works?

Propecia works by blocking the enzyme 5 Alpha Reductase. This in turn reduces the levels of DHT produced by the body allowing the hair to revert to its original growth cycle stopping further hair loss and often resulting in new hair growth

How often do I need to take Propecia?

Your Doctor will prescribe the amount of Propecia to be taken daily. The drug needs to be taken for three to six months before you notice a difference.

Possible Side Effects

Like all prescription products, PROPECIA may cause side effects. In clinical studies, a very small number of men experienced certain 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 PROPECIA.

Drug Interactions

Drug interactions can result in unwanted side effects or prevent a medicine from doing its job. Some medicines or medical conditions may interact with this medicine. Inform your doctor or pharmacist of all prescription and over-the-counter medicine that you are taking.
