Drugs To Stop You Going Bald

Ukmedix sees alot of hair loss research and study from it various news sources and despite the fact that millions of pounds are invested into the hair loss industry each year the absolute cure for male pattern baldness is still not available. The medical world has made significant advances especially in the last decade with regards to hair loss procedures and medicnes but has yet to come up with the miracle pill or potion.

The biggest recent advance which is quite incredible when looked at objectively is the Propecia pill made from a compound called finasteride. This tiny tablet if taken daily can stop hair loss and in some cases regrow hair. It works by preventing the build up of DHT (a testosterone related hormone) in the scalp that is the primary cause of male pattern balding a condition that hits millions of men all over the world from as early as the age of 20. While Propecia does not always work for all men if you take it you have a much greater chance of holding onto your hair than you do if you don't use it and it is definitely worth a try if you are worried about your hair loss.

Minoxidil is the other clinically proven and researched drug that is available for hair loss. It is more complicated to take then Propecia as it has to be directly applied to the scalp everyday and this can take time, but it nevertheless gives good results too and has the advantage of the fact that women are allowed to use the drug too, (unlike Propecia).

If hair loss is a major worry for you it is always worth taking a medical route first before going for hair transplant surgery or a wig as it is less of an emotional upheaval and may be the simplest way for you to hang onto your hair. Ukmedix doctors have been prescribing Propecia for a number of years and report very good results and lots of happy patients who keep on reordering the hair loss drug.
