Buy Propecia Online

In the clinical trails involving participation by thousands of men, Propecia has yielded positive results for two thirds of the men. Over 60% of the men reported that there was an increase in hair growth. Most of the men had been taking Propecia for two years.  

83% of the men in the clinical trials reported that there was no further hair loss. 30% of the men showed a slight improvement, 31% a moderate improvement, and there was a great increase in hair re-growth for 5% of the participants. Imagine how great each of these participants felt when they noticed the first signs of re-growth and noticed no further hair loss?

Propecia is a great treatment that stops male pattern hair loss from occurring and doing any further damage. The only way to get prescription-strength Propecia is by obtaining a prescription from your doctor. Once you start taking Propecia, you will start to notice results in as little as three months. Some men experienced hair re-growth in only six months. Propecia is a one-a-day-pill that really makes a difference.

 Some younger men who are experiencing the signs of hair loss wonder if Propecia is right for them.  The major concern for men aged 18 – 21 is whether Propecia will impact the remainder of their physical growth.  

The different studies on Propecia and hair loss in general is that DHT is not a factor in bone density or muscle mass, thus DHT is not related to growth.  However, research has not been specifically conducted to find the minimum age threshold that is right for Propecia.  A good rule of thumb is that if you are still in puberty, Propecia is not right for you.  However, if you have finished the vast majority of your growing, then you may want to consider using Propecia.  The earlier you begin using Propecia to treat the signs of hairless, the better the results will be at maintaining your hairline and fullness. 

If you are considered about your age and Propecia, you may want to consider beginning with a half dose of Propecia first, which would be .5 mg.  You can purchase a pill cutter at the pharmacy and simply halve the Propecia tablet.  Many older users of Propecia only take .5 mg and find it effective, and thus, it may be something you should consider if your youth is a concern.   

 An evaluation of Propecia’s older sibling Proscar, which was used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia, reveals that in terms of dosages, more is not better.  Proscar and Propecia share the same ingredient of finasteride. 

According to an analysis of the double-blind studies that Merck presented to the FDA, the difference between 1 mg and 5 mg dosage of Proscar yielded the same results, but Merck nonetheless recommended dosages at 5 mg.  Merck’s dosage suggestions are much higher than the needed amount for treatment with Proscar.  However, in this same report, the studies showed that a decreased dosage would reduce the probability of side effects.    

Thus, it may be worth considering if decreasing the dosage of Propecia would still render effectiveness.  Cutting the dosage could decrease the cost.  Some of our readers have sent in emails with their dosages; many begin with the 1 mg dosage, then after they become a good responder to Propecia, they drop the dosage down to .5 mg.  They have not noticed any discernable difference in results between the 1 mg and .5 mg.  All you would need is a standard pill cutter from the pharmacy to halve your tablet.  There is no official word on this, and we are simply posing an interesting point, but this may be worth considering.  Nonetheless, Propecia’s monthly cost is not dramatic, so it may or may not be worth the experiment to decrease the dosages. 

 Several of our readers have emailed us inquiring about their progress with Propecia.  Some men have experienced shedding or thinning during the first phase of their treatment with Propecia, and they are worried about whether Propecia is working for them.  

Based upon our research and conversations with Propecia users, thinning in month three to five is very normal for Propecia treatment.  For the first three months, some men will experience thinning of the hair, especially around the temples, although the recession of the hairline will be contained.  Some experts believe that the initial thinning is attributed to the scalp’s natural reaction to discard the old hairs to make room for the thicker, newer ones. 

The thinning is a normal part of the process that some men initially experience in the first three to five months.  After this first period of three to five months, most men who experience the initial condition will witness that the original hair, as well as new hair, will begin to grow back.  When you take into consideration studies demonstrate that 83% of men experience further hair growth, the numbers are on your side for growing back your thick hair. 

For some men using Propecia, it may get worse before it gets better, but in this case, patience pays off with a long-term full head of hair.       

Propecia is the first, and only, clinically proven non-topical pharmaceutical treatment to reduce hair loss and re-grow hair in almost three-fourths of users. Unlike Minoxidil, a topical preparation with a 50% effectiveness rating, Propecia is taken orally, once a day, and dosages do not need to be adjusted for age. Other remedies, whether herbal or mineral-based, are essentially delusory concoctions that may or may not grow hair, though they might make you feel better about having none. Any hair treatment not approved by the FDA, or the American Hair Loss Association, is likely to be a waste of time and money.

Why Do Men Go Bald?

Why do men go bald?  It is clearly a genetic aging marker, but what purpose does it serve?  I would like to refer to a letter dated July 2007 in which Desmond Morris (a zoologist and ethologist who wrote “The Naked Ape”) proposed that balding was a signal to mating-age females that men were too old to pass on viable copies of their genes.

The idea makes scientific sense. Past the ages of 40 or 45, our stem cells make “bad” copies (sometimes resulting in cancer). Genetic “imprinting,” which affects gene expression, begins to fail. It is a known fact that the children of men over 40 are more prone to schizophrenia, autism, and Down’s syndrome. None of this is any comfort to older men who want to begin a new family.  However, nothing prevents older men from trying to look younger, and this is where Propecia can help. Along with diet, exercise, and certain other regimens, the use of Propecia can renew hair, if not genetic imprinting.

Baldness and Vitamin D

One of the hair loss regimens that might be effective (other than Propecia) is taking Vitamin D, which helps to build resistance to cancer and maintains muscle and bone strength. Children and young adults get Vitamin D from sunlight. Older people, whose skin is beginning to deteriorate, lose this ability to synthesize Vitamin D from sunlight. Researchers are beginning to suspect that our recommended daily allowance of Vitamin D should be as much as 10 times higher than it is, based on our age and the increasing UV content of sunlight as a result of particulates in the atmosphere (resulting in global warming).

Vitamin D Toxicity

Vitamin D in excessive doses can be toxic, resulting in nausea, vomiting, pain in the joints, and loss of appetite.  A person may also experience constipation alternating with diarrhea, or have tingling sensations in the mouth.  Unfortunately, few are sure what constitutes a toxic dose.  In fact, there are some who believe that toxicity fears are overblown, and these fears may be preventing residents of the northern U.S. from getting adequate supplies, as they work inside buildings all summer and the sun seldom shines in winter. Dr. R. Vieth, in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, suggested that up to 10,000 units of vitamin D might be appropriate and described the medical community’s concern over toxicity as “hysteria.”  A further study, published by the Wake Forest School of Medicine in Dermatology Nursing, suggests that Vitamin D may reverse aptosis, the mechanism of cell destruction.

Begin, or continue, your regiment of Propecia, but do not forget that the testosterone conversion process that leads to baldness is a genetic aging marker, and healthy bodies age more slowly than sick ones. Propecia is the first line of defense against baldness, but not the only one. Eat your vegetables and take Vitamin D.  We update this blog consistently with good research developments regarding hair loss, and thus, you can maintain your hairline with Propecia and keeping up with the research on this blog.  You may be too old to pass on your genes, but you are never too old to feel good about yourself.
