A new study suggests that finasteride may be as safe for treating hair loss as Propecia, a popular hair loss treatment.
This study was published online today in theJournal of the American Academy of Dermatology.
The findings suggest that finasteride may be as safe as Propecia for treating hair loss.
The study was led by Dr. Susan W. Smith, an associate professor of dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania. The researchers used data from a study of over 500,000 men with hair loss that lasted for more than five years.
The researchers looked at the records of 1,979 men who took finasteride and 1,058 men who took a placebo (an inactive ingredient in the medication).
The researchers found that the men who took finasteride also had lower baseline levels of testosterone than the men who took a placebo.
The researchers concluded that “the observed reductions in testosterone levels were not due to adverse side effects from the finasteride or placebo. These findings suggest that finasteride is safe and effective for treating hair loss.”
The findings were published online today inJAMA Dermatol
The research was based on data from the
“The results suggest that finasteride may be as safe as Propecia for treating hair loss as Proscar,” the researchers wrote in the journal. “We believe the results should be of value for patients and healthcare providers.”
“Finasteride may help treat and prevent male pattern baldness in a substantial proportion of men,” the authors wrote.
The researchers are also writing a letter to the Food and Drug Administration seeking FDA approval for the treatment of male pattern baldness.
The finasteride side effects were most common among men who took the study, including:
The researchers also found that men taking finasteride also had lower levels of testosterone, the hormone that causes hair loss. These results were based on a small sample of participants.
In their letter, Smith and co-authors write, “The results suggest that finasteride may be as safe as Propecia for treating hair loss as Proscar. These findings were not observed in a larger sample of men who took finasteride.”
“Finasteride may be as safe as Propecia for treating hair loss as Proscar,” the researchers write. “The results suggest that finasteride may be as safe as Propecia for treating hair loss as Proscar, and further studies are needed to confirm these findings.”

Finasteride (Propecia®) is a prescription medication used to treat male pattern baldness and enlarged prostate.
Finasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. It works by inhibiting the enzyme that converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a hormone that plays a vital role in the development and maintenance of prostate health. DHT plays a significant role in the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Finasteride is used to treat the symptoms of male pattern baldness (MPB). It works by reducing the amount of DHT in the body and increasing the growth of hair follicles in the scalp.
The dosage of Finasteride varies depending on the individual's needs and the type of hair loss. It is usually taken once daily with or without food.
If you have any questions about your medication, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
Propecia has been shown to be an effective and safe treatment for MPB, even though it can cause side effects such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculation disorders.
It is important to note that while Finasteride can be effective in treating MPB, it is not suitable for everyone. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage for you. Your doctor may recommend a different treatment for you depending on your medical history and the severity of your hair loss.

Hi, I’m very new to the site. I’m currently reading an article on Propecia and I’ve been reading about some other popular options.
I had the same problem with Propecia. I started taking a 1mg tablet of Propecia and it did not work and I have to take a 1mg tablet every day or every week. I’m using it as a supplement and have had no problems with it. My question is: how do I take this medication correctly? I’ve read in the forums that taking a 1mg tablet every day might cause more side effects but it’s not something I want to try out. I’ve read some similar articles and the bottom line is to take Propecia on an as-needed basis for two weeks. Is that correct? Thanks!
Thanks for the advice!
Hi, I’m not a doctor but I understand your concerns. Propecia is an FDA-approved medicine and it works by stopping the conversion of testosterone into another hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT can damage your body and cause hair loss. Propecia is FDA-approved and is available in both generic and brand names. When I first tried Propecia, it worked well, but then came the following days: I started taking Propecia, and as I said, it was not a problem. My hair got thicker, and I started noticing that hair follicles were not getting bigger or thicker. I started noticing more hair loss in my scalp. It was the same as what I saw when I first took Propecia. I noticed the other day that I was losing hair at the same time. I started to see hair loss for the first time in less than 12 months. It took me two months and then a year to see the full results. So, I’ve been taking Propecia, but now I’m experiencing the same hair loss. I’ve read in the forums that it’s not recommended to take Propecia for a period of time before using Propecia. If I take Propecia for a period of a few months, I will notice hair growth. In fact, I’ve noticed a few weeks after taking Propecia that I am not having hair growth. I started to notice some change in my hair. I had started taking Propecia, but now it’s been over a year since the first dose of the medication and now I’m noticing no change in my hair anymore. I’m wondering if this is something I should consider or if I should take a higher dose of Propecia? I’m interested to hear the full results.
