Finasteride Creates Hair and More
Alice Hunter has written Finasteride Creates Hair and More and writes "Many times, when a doctor determines a case of Male Pattern Hair Loss, he will prescribe Propecia, a popular hair loss treatment which has a variable success record.
Technically, Finasteride is the primary active ingredient and compound in the brand name drug, Propecia. Propecia has been noted as a successful treatment used to prevent Male Pattern Hair Loss, but its success record depends upon the source of information.
The Propecia home page, produced by the company itself, claims that nine out of ten men treated with the drug have improved or at least maintained hair.
Propecia is also the only pill that treats Male Pattern Hair Loss that has been approved by the FDA. The company claims that they put the drug through five years of experimental research prior to making it available to the general public in 1998..
It is interesting how some drugs gain FDA-approval and others that produce equally effective laboratory trials do not get the highly lucrative stamp of FDA approval. Perhaps Propecia had more aggressive lobbyists working the angles in Washington to lend it more support with the Federal Drug Administration.
It should also be seriously noted that the FDA does not have a spotless record in releasing safe drugs to the general population. Their stamp of approval grows more questionable each season as new drugs promoted by lobbyists from major drug companies gain approval. A stamp of approval from the FDA is not without its political implications or influences.
All of the above reflects several facts that you should realize, as a patient and consumer of a drug, which was only tested for five years prior to its availability. Propecia has had negative results in 2% of its users, due to the hormonal imbalance. It is also a drug that can cause irreparable damage to an unborn male fetus. For this reason, women of childbearing age should have absolutely no contact with this drug in any form.
Propecia's reputation within the established, traditional medical community may be excellent and shining, but when there is no guarantee of its success. as is the case with Propecia, you will be glad to know it isn't the only proven-by-test treatment on the market, and not even the most effective one, either.
The company claims that most men experience positive results when they have taken the drug between three and twelve months. It is only productive for two areas of the head: the top of the head and the middle front area. It has not been useful in maintaining or growing hair at the temples or in a receding hairline.
While the company home page on the web claims that nine out of ten men experience positive results with Propecia, not all studies have reached the same conclusion.
According to Consumer Review.net, a popular and trusted website that reviews many brand name hair loss treatments and rates them according to their reported success, Propecia's record is not so great. The Consumer Review says that 66% of the men who have taken it for Male Pattern Hair Loss reported positive growth. It presently costs around $230 for a three-month supply.
The latest news on Male Pattern Hair Loss reveals: there are cutting-edge alternative treatments that work very well. These are the ones strictly organically produced from flora and fauna of living earth. And they have a higher success rate than 66%.
