Health Tips

Male pattern baldness can be mainly attributed to DHT or dihydrotestosterone. Androgenetic alopecia or male pattern baldness is a disease that may have been inherited from either side of a patient’s family.

DHT may shrink hair follicles which help in generation of hair. Propecia is for treating mild to moderate male pattern hair loss on vertex (top of head) and anterior mid-scalp area (middle front of head) in males.

Propecia is a prescription oral pill approved by FDA hence a patient with male pattern baldness requires prescription from a doctor to start its usage. Propecia is also known as finasteride.
