Propecia has been designed for men diagnosed with male pattern baldness. Male pattern baldness manifests itself with receding hairline and balding on the top of the head when the hair becomes thinner with every day and eventually comes out. Propecia has been designed especially for adult males and must never be used by children or women. Pregnant women and children must not even come into contact with crushed tablets of Propecia, as it has been reported to cause birth defects. Every tablet of Propecia is coated to prevent the active ingredient finasteride from being absorbed by the skin.

Men taking Propecia have a higher risk of developing male breast cancer. If you notice unusual symptoms, such as nipple discharge, breast lumps or other breast changes talk to your doctor immediately. Some conditions may affect the efficiency of your treatment with Propecia or even cause unwanted side effects. These include stricture of the urethra, bladder muscle disorder, prostate cancer, inability to urinate, liver disease and a number of others. Never share your medicine with other people – every patient must be first examined by the doctor to make sure they will benefit from the treatment.
