\"\"<\/a>It\u2019s a problem thousands of men face: going bald.\u00a0 Years ago there was nothing that could be done to help those that were losing their hair but a lot has changed over the past few years.\u00a0 Now there is a pill that men can take to reverse the effects of baldness.\u00a0\u00a0 One of the popular treatments on the market right now is Propecia.<\/p>\n

How does Propecia\u00a0work?
\n<\/strong>Doctors believe hair loss happens when a substance called dihydrotesterone (DHT) begins to shrink hair follicles.\u00a0 Propecia stops DHT and in turn stops hair from falling out.\u00a0 It not only stops hair loss, it also stimulates the scalp and encourages new hair growth.\u00a0 The medication treats mild to moderate male pattern baldness at the top and sides of the head, however it doesn\u2019t help with receding hair lines.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the success rate?
\n<\/strong>Propecia is a once daily pill that is taken for three months or more before you see results.\u00a0 \u00a0Clinical studies have shown 9 out of 10 men who take Propecia had visible results.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What have studies shown?
\n<\/strong>*2 out of 3 men regrew hair while taking Propecia
\n*A majority of men said their hair looked and felt thicker while taking the medication
\n*Men are likely to see their hair stop falling out<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>What are the side effects?
\n<\/strong>According to Propeica\u2019s website, a small number of men had sexual side effects like loss of desire and difficulty getting an erection.\u00a0 The side effects were found in about 2% of patients and the problems did go away once a man stopped taking the medication.\u00a0 The pill also shouldn\u2019t be handled by pregnant women.\u00a0 The ingredients that make up the medication can have harmful effects on a fetus, but only when the pill is crushed or broken.\u00a0 \u00a0A pregnant women should contact a doctor if they come in contact with a broken pills.<\/p>\n
