Propecia is a medication used to treat male pattern baldness. It is available in both tablet and topical solution form. Propecia works by blocking the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to hair loss in men. Propecia is effective in preventing further hair loss and promoting hair growth in some men.
Propecia is a prescription medication, so you will need to see a doctor to get a prescription. Propecia is not covered by insurance, so you will need to pay for it out of pocket. The cost of Propecia can vary depending on the dosage and the pharmacy you use. You can expect to pay around $50 to $100 per month for Propecia.
