"...save at least £310 every year
on Minoxidil and Finasteride"
Studies
have shown that male pattern baldness is caused when an enzyme
called 5 Alpha (Type 2) Reductase, interacts with the male sex
hormone, Testsoterone to produce a new hormone called
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT)
High levels of DHT act on the hair shaft by constricting the
hair follicle, depriving it of blood and shortening the
growing phase. At this point, the follicle is dormant, i.e
...resting and may be revived when the blood supply is
restored.
Scientists
have found that the most effective way to stop hair loss is to
take 1mg. of Finasteride every day to block the action of 5
Alpha Reductase and prevent the conversion of Testosterone to
DHT.

Finasteride
has been thoroughly tested and specifically licensed for the
treatment of thinning hair associated with advancing male
pattern baldness.
When
used as directed, Finasteride rarely causes unwanted
side-effects.
About 2% of men reported difficulty in achieving an erection
and a decrease in the amount of semen produced. These
side-effects were reversible and went away when treatment with
Finasteride was discontinued.
Finasteride
is for MEN ONLY and must not be taken by ladies. Broken
tablets must not be handled by pregnant women.

Finasteride
is the active ingredient in a drug called PROPECIA, which is
marketed solely for the purpose of preventing and treating
male pattern baldness. It is taken once a day in tablet form
and is literally, a pill which is designed to prevent hair
loss.
Finasteride
is a well proven drug which has been used successfully for
many years to treat men suffering with an enlarged prostate
gland.
A desirable side effect noticed by men taking Finasteride was
the regrowth of hair to the top of the head (vertex) and crown
which became thicker as the course of treatment continued.
Finasteride
is only available by doctor's private prescription in the U.K
and is manufactured by Merck Pharmaceuticals in two
strengths...1mg. and 5mg. These are called PROPECIA and
PROSCAR respectively and are extremely expensive to buy in
this country.
1mg.
of Finasteride, taken daily, has been scientifically proven to
produce increased hair growth in 86% of men and is also
claimed to be successful in reversing frontal hair recession.

Finasteride
begins to block the action of the enzyme 5 Alpha Reductase
almost immediately and tests have shown a measurable decrease
in the level of Dihydrotestosterone after only a few weeks of
treatment.
However,
hair
growth is a slow process and Finasteride may take some time
for visible results to be seen. In most cases, hair loss is
slowed and fine "vellus" hairs
start to appear 3-4 months after treatment begins. Full hair
growth may not be evident for 6-8 months.
The
full benefit of Finasteride may not be seen for 12-14 months and
continued use is strongly recommended to maintain hair regrowth.
If
there are no signs of hair growth after 12-14 months
then it is unlikely that Finasteride will work for you.
In
studies lasting 2 years, 83% of men treated with Finasteride
reported an increase in the amount of hair, a decrease in hair
loss and a visible improvement in their appearance.
