Propecia (Finasteride) Film-Coated

Description

What are Propecia Tablets?

Propecia is a medication that contains finasteride, a prescription treatment used to manage male pattern hair loss. It is designed for men experiencing gradual thinning, particularly around the hairline or crown. Generally prescribed for adult men aged 18 and over.

How Propecia Works

Finasteride works by targeting dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that plays a key role in shrinking hair follicles leading to thinning and baldness. By reducing DHT levels in the scalp, Propecia helps slow down hair loss and may support regrowth over time.
