Buy Propecia: Finasteride

Propecia (Finasteride) has been available to buy within the UK since 1997 and is the first and only oral medication to be approved for the treatment of male pattern hair loss. This treatment for a condition which is thought to effect up to 25% of the male population is effective in around 99% of men at both preventing further hair loss, as well generating new growth on both the vertex and the anterior mid-scalp areas.

You can expect to see results in as little as 3 months of using Propecia, with hair growth likely to begin in around 6-12 months. Although this treatment may not work for everyone, many people who use it have achieved dramatic hair growth, with many of these having a full head of hair within 5 years of using the medication.
