Buy Propecia (Finasteride) from Maple Leaf Medications.

What is Propecia?

Propecia, with the generic name finasteride, is an oral medication used to treat male pattern hair loss, also called androgenetic alopecia. It works on hair growth at the crown and in the middle of the scalp, but it will not affect hair growth in other parts of the body.

This is available in Propecia 1 mg tablet form.

How does Propecia work?

These 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors work by inhibiting the intracellular enzyme responsible for converting the androgen testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Decreasing the DHT level in the body could result in slower hair loss and increased hair growth.
