A member asked:
What kind of treatment is propecia (finasteride) ? or is it a name of medicine? please kindly tell me detail information about propecia (finasteride).
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Finasteride: This blocks conversion of testosterone to the molecule that allows male pattern baldness. It's a standard treatment if this is what you want. Link http://www.Drugs.Com/propecia.Html it's your decision; 95% of good looks for a man is physical fitness rather than where he does and does not have hair.
