Propecia 1mg Tablets

Description

What this medicine is for

Propecia 1mg Tablets are a branded formulation of finasteride used for the treatment of male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) in adult men.

This condition causes gradual thinning of hair, most commonly at the crown and mid-scalp.

How it works

Propecia contains finasteride, which works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase.

This enzyme converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to shrinking hair follicles in male pattern baldness.

By reducing DHT levels, Propecia helps slow hair loss and may support regrowth and thicker hair over time.
