Propecia is the only FDA approved oral treatment for hairloss. It is taken once per
day and grows hair in about 66% of individuals after two years of treatment. Roughly 83%
of individuals on the treatment maintain their existing hair after two years as well.
Propecia works by blocking an enzyme used to create the male hormone DHT, the hormone
which causes hairloss. Propecia is for men only. It can cause lessening of libido, less
semen production, and softer erections in roughly 2% of individuals for each of the three
listed side effects. The side effects go away in over 50% of individuals who continue the
treatment and 100% of individuals who stop using the medication. Propecia Costs
approximately $45-55 per month.
