Looking for help in your fight against hair loss? Propecia and finasteride could be just what you need. This blog provides a brief overview of the drugs and how they work and also takes a look at current prices for them at a trio of supermarket pharmacies scattered throughout the southeastern United States.<\/p>\n

The American Hair Loss Association recommends finasteride, the active ingredient in Propecia and its generic equivalent, as \u201cthe first line of attack for all men interested in treating their male pattern baldness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Best Option for Now<\/h3>\n

Medical researchers and hair-loss specialists continue to search for even more powerful weapons in the fight against male pattern baldness. However, for now, Propecia and finasteride are your best bet at halting hair loss and even regrowing some hair that\u2019s already been lost.<\/p>\n

Originally developed as a drug for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia, a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland, finasteride was marketed by Merck under the brand name Proscar as a treatment for BPH. During trials for Proscar, hair growth was noted as a widespread side effect of the drug, prompting Merck to pursue the drug\u2019s potential as a treatment for hair loss. In late 1997, the Food and Drug Administration approved a 1-milligram tablet of the drug as a treatment for male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia.<\/p>\n

Primary Culprit Is DHT<\/h3>\n

The primary culprit in male pattern baldness is a derivative of testosterone known as dihydrotestosterone, or DHT. It gradually shrinks hair follicles to the point that they can no longer support hair growth. Triggering the conversion of testosterone into DHT is an enzyme called type 2 5-alpha-reductase. Propecia and finasteride fight hair loss by inhibiting the enzyme, thus reducing levels of DHT.<\/p>\n
