Propecia ( Finasteride 1mg ) got US FDA approval in 1997 for male pattern baldness ( androgenetic alopecia ).
Propecia acts in the body to significantly lower levels of dihydrotestosterone ( DHT ) by inhibiting the type 2 5-Alpha Reductase enzyme
which is responsible for the conversion of testosterone into DHT. High amounts of DHT are believed to be a major factor contributing to
hair loss in individuals with a genetic pre-disposition to it.
What is the difference between Propecia and Proscar? Only the dosage - both are made by Merck and contain only Finasteride. Most of our customers prefer to buy Proscar and cut the tablets into fourths or fifths using a pill cutter. Choosing Proscar over Propecia will save you over 8 times the annual cost of Propecia.
Sorry, we no longer stock Propecia as we believe that Proscar represents a greater value for our customers.
