Does Propecia Really Work?

Propecia is an MHRA approved prescription drug, which means that it has undergone rigorous clinical testing, and medical research. To be an MHRA approved drug, the manufacturer must demonstrate real research results that portray all the side effects, precautions, results and benefits of the drug they wish to have approved.

Because Propecia (finasteride) is fully approved, it has gone through all the stages of testing before being marketed to the public. This guarantees that all the claims it makes, the results it promises and the side effects it causes are legitimate and are conclusively proven.

The 5 year clinical trial

To test Propecia’s effectiveness, researchers conducted a 5 year medical trial to discover the long term effects of the medication, as well as any short term effects or results. After 5 years, the results shown were extremely positive. 42% of men who took Propecia experienced hair growth in areas where they were becoming bald, and another 48% noticed that their balding had ceased and that no more hair had fallen out. Overall, 90% of the men taking the clinical trial experienced positive results.

Not only did the 5 year clinical trial of Propecia’s effectiveness conclude that it is a successful hair loss solution for men suffering with male pattern baldness, but also that it improves the overall quality of their hair. Men who took used this treatment during the trial noticed an improvement in the overall condition of their hair, which became thicker and stronger.

Tips to ensure you get the best results with Propecia

• During the clinical trial, men who experienced positive results also used an anti-inflammatory shampoo in conjunction with the treatment. Propecia’s effectiveness increased when this shampoo was used. To ensure the maximum Propecia results, it is suggested you keep your scalp in a stable, non inflamed, flaky or dry state.
• Make sure that you take this treatment consistently, try not to miss many doses and try to take it at regular times. By doing this, your body will become regulated with finasteride and the process of hair growth will be more effective.
• Make sure you get a lot of protein and iron in your diet, so lots of fish, eggs, beans and dark leafy vegetables. These foods promote hair growth, and will work as an additional natural treatment to improve the quality of your hair and also make the new hair thicker and stronger.
