Before starting treatment with Propecia, inform your doctor about your medical history and current medications. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should not use Propecia, and it is not known whether it is safe to use finasteride or minoxidil. Discuss your treatment options with your doctor, especially if you are taking the topical form of Rogaine.
When you start treatment with Propecia, it will reduce the amount of finasteride you will have absorbed from the medication, so your scalp will be more sensitive to the effects of finasteride. However, it is important to follow your doctor’s instructions and not exceed the recommended dose.
If you are considering taking Propecia, you will need to talk to your doctor. It is recommended that finasteride is only taken once a day, so the first dose is usually taken about 1 to 2 hours before your hair loss treatment. Finasteride can only be taken once a day, so don’t stop taking it if you are not sure about the results. If you are not sure, discuss the risks and benefits of using Propecia with your doctor.
If you want to take Propecia as soon as you remember, it is recommended that you wait at least 6 months before you begin taking it again. Finasteride is available in a topical form, so it is available as a twice daily tablet. If you are taking the oral form, it is best to start using it when your doctor prescribes it.
Your doctor will decide how much you will need to take as a result of your hair loss treatment. Finasteride is available in the form of a daily low dose (0.5 mg) or a higher strength (2.5 mg), and a lower dose (5 mg) may be available over the counter. Your doctor will determine the right dose for you based on your medical condition and the severity of your hair loss.
If you are experiencing hair loss, it is important to consider the following tips. If you are experiencing hair loss, discuss your treatment options with your doctor.
Remember, Propecia can be dangerous if you are using it for a hair loss treatment regimen, so always use the lowest effective dose possible for the shortest possible time. If you notice any changes in your hair loss treatment after using Propecia, contact your doctor as soon as possible.
While Propecia is effective in treating hair loss, it is not the only way to achieve optimal results.

Propecia is a type of drug called a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. It blocks the body’s production of a chemical called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is known to cause male pattern baldness. By reducing the levels of DHT in the body, Propecia helps to slow down or stop hair loss and prevent further hair loss.
Propecia is a prescription medication that has been in the market since 1997. It is taken orally once a day. Doctors usually prescribe it for men with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher. If you have been prescribed Propecia, your doctor will likely order a blood test and perform a hair growth test to check your hair growth.
Propecia works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone to DHT. DHT is a hormone that plays a key role in male pattern baldness. By reducing the levels of DHT, Propecia helps to slow down or stop hair loss and prevent further hair loss.
