Overview of Propecia.

Research has shown that hair loss can be attributed to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the body. Testosterone is converted to DHT which in turn causes hair fall in men.

This helps reduce the hair loss patterns commonly seen in men between the age of 14-40. It has also been observed that Generic Propecia also stimulates the growth of further natural hair in men.
