Propecia is commonly used among balding men of various ages; it can help greatly with the pattern loss of hair on the vertex and the anterior mid-scalp area, which is quite a common problem for the representatives of the sterner sex. This medication has been developed strictly for adult males and thus should not even be considered if a similar problem arises with a woman or a child. An identical female condition simply cannot be treated by Propecia as the drug is designed according to the male endocrine profile (it works through preventing the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone). However, it can cause defects in the foetus if used when the women is expecting or on the stage of planning the pregnancy.

Before you start taking Propecia, consult with your physician. Pay close attention to your medical history in order to discover whether you have had any drug-related allergies. There are several chronical diseases that, as often as not, prevent the patient from taking Propecia or at least make it necessary to conduct the treatment regimen under your doctor's careful supervision. They include prostate cancer, urethra stricture, bladder muscle disorders and generally all liver problems.

Procepia needs to be taken following the doctor's instructions carefully and washed down with a full glass of water. Remember that approximately three months need to pass before you see objective results.
