Price range: $8.70 through $26.86

Propecia (finasteride) is a prescription 5-alpha reductase inhibitor used to treat male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). It works by reducing dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels, a hormone that causes scalp hair thinning, helping to slow hair loss and sometimes promote regrowth. Propecia is intended for use by men with mild to moderate hair loss, with visible results typically appearing after at least three months of continuous use.

It is for men only—women who are pregnant or may become pregnant must avoid handling crushed tablets due to rthe isk of birth defects in male fetuses. Some men may experience mild sexual side effects, which often resolve with continued use or after stopping treatment.
