The most popular medication for treating male baldness is Propecia and is gaining popularity at the highest level. But its effectiveness differs from people to people. In other words, a young man with minimal hair loss is more likely to regain it faster than a man with bald patches. Moreover, regrowth of hair doesn’t mean a man will necessarily recover his full set of hair for it may simply stop the hair from falling out. But it is sure that this medicine will perform either of these. Its effectiveness was successfully demonstrated in men aged 18 to 50 years old, with mild to moderate hair gain at the top and middle front of the head.

Propecia is an oral treatment for tackling male pattern hair loss. It contains a substance called Finasteride which was first developed to cure enlarged prostrate gland i.e. prostrate cancer. But researchers noticed that a lower dose of finasteride develops hair in men. It has been found to block Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) or the 5 alpha enzymes which has been proven to trigger male pattern hair loss.
