Propecia Finasteride for balness treatment

Finasteride, marketed as Propecia by Merck & Co, is an antiandrogen which acts by inhibiting 5-alpha reductase, the enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone. Propecia Finasteride in 1mg doses is the first and only FDA-approved pill demonstrated to treat male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) in men only.

Testosterone contained in the bloodstream will often combine with an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. As a result, a sexual hormone known as DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) is formed.

When Propecia UK is administered, it works to inhibit the formation of DHT.
