We don’t like to age, but it happens anyway. As we grow older, most of us put on a bit of weight, become tired sooner, and find ourselves suffering from aches and pains we’ve never had before. By observing good habits such as exercising and eating healthier though, we can reduce some of the detrimental consequences of aging. Looking older and loosing your hair is one of the hardest things about getting older. Hair loss is more common for men, and it can negatively impact their self esteem. Many products exist today, both prescription and non prescription, that claim to turn back the process of hair loss. Finasteride is a prescription drug that has been shown to work.
Wikipedia describes Finasteride as a synthetic antiandrogen (prevents the biological consequences of sex hormones produced in the male). Taking a 5 milligram dosage of finasteride (brand names: Proscar, Fincar, and Finara) reduces urinary symptoms in men with benign prostate hyperplasia. We have learned that Finasteride aids males with hair loss. Using a 1 milligram dosage of finasteride (aka Propecia) can generate a reversal in male pattern baldness.
