Propecia (Finasteride) 1mg

Nearly all men have some baldness by the time they are in their 60s. However, the age the hair loss starts is variable. About three in ten 30 year olds, and half of 50 year olds are quite bald. Some women also develop a similar pattern of hair loss. To become gradually bald is a normal part of the ageing process for most men. No treatment is wanted or needed by most affected men. For some men, baldness can be distressing, particularly if it is excessive or occurs early in life. Treatment may then help. Currently there are two medicines that help - finasteride (trade name Propecia) and minoxidil (trade name Regaine). Neither are available on the NHS, so you need to pay the full price for them.

Propecia is a prescripiton only medicine - it cannot be bought over the counter.
