    Finasteride Hair Loss Treatment Not Advised For Females

    As baldness continues to be the top cosmetic concern in the country, there are various remedies hitting the market. Rogaine, a topical ointment is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for men and women, together with Propecia, used in a everyday pill form is widely prescribed for men as a finasteride hair loss treatment.

    Proscar, originally developed with five milligrams general dose of finasteride, has been used since 1992 as a treatment for prostate enlargement in men. In higher dosages with is used for the treatment of prostate cancer and more recently in low dosages, of about one milligram, finasteride hair loss treatment is showing some success. However, the drug is also known to cause birth defects if taken by women, even in low doses and should not even be handled by pregnant women or those who think they may be pregnant.

    With the price of Propecia higher than Proscar, some get the less costly pills and cut them into sizes approximating the proper everyday dosage to use as a finasteride hair loss treatment. Even the minute amount potentially obtainable to come into contact with a female, can cause birth defects and cutting the pills is not advised. Studies have featured finasteride hair loss treatment to be ineffective in women, but a lot contend the study was done with post-menopausal women and the hair loss could be associated to lack of estrogen and not an increase in testosterone.

    DHT Reduction Found In Propecia Users

    The average belief that male pattern baldness is caused by an enzyme that converts testosterone into Dihydrotestosterone, which causes hair follicle to stop growing hair, can be decreased with finasteride hair loss treatment. Studies have featured no increase in DHT in the hair once a finasteride hair loss treatment has begun. Typically, a person using finasteride for hair loss, is advised they will need to continue its use forever but the manufacturer suggests other hair loss remedies obtainable or that are expected to be available, should enable discontinuance in the future.

    There are a few side effects for men when using finasteride hair loss treatment such as one percent suffering erectile dysfunction, and less than one percent experience swelling or inflammation in the breasts. Side effects are said to disappear once drug use has stopped. Another side effect that some consider positive, is that in users of finasteride for hair loss also have experienced a alleviated number with enlarged prostate and prostate cancer.
