Why use Propecia 1mg for hair loss?

Propecia 1mg tablet gives medical aid to hair loss in men by blocking dihydrotestosterone or DHT. It is a hormone derived from testosterone responsible for hair loss in men. Propecia’s 1mg dose of finasteride can effectively lower DHT levels in the scalp by as much as 60% when taken daily. This is an FDA approved medication since 1997. This tablet is manufactured by MSD, Turkey.

How does Propecia 1mg work?

Finasteride is the active ingredient of Propecia. It belongs to a group of medications known as the 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors. It works by blocking an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. The enzyme converts testosterone to DHT and is believed that DHT is a key factor in pattern hair loss.  It is also used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as enlarged prostate. Finasteride decreases the concentration of DHT in a man’s scalp by about two-thirds.
