Propecia is in the news after it has been targeted by a sports people and officials all of whom who say that the anti-doping rules and regulations of international sport are too draconian and often pick up innocent victims.

Propecia that is made from the drug finasteride is a banned drug and this is not because of any performance enhancing effects that it gives off but merely because it is said to disguise other performance enhancing drugs when it is used in conjunction with them.

It is likely than some athletes who use Propecia for male pattern hair loss and really do not take any performance enhancing medicine have been caught out and have been banned from their respective sports.

One famous example is the skeleton racer Zach Lund who was banned from his sport after being found with finasteride in his blood sample, a drug that he had in fact been taking for a number of years and from before the ban was announced. It is clear that the rules need to be strict and they need to be clear with regard to doping tests but the fact that Propecia is banned is affecting a lot of innocent sportsmen who after all were only trying to keep their hair on their heads.

Propecia is estimated to be used by 4 million men worldwide and is effective for male pattern baldness and can therefore help men in their 20’s who start to develop thin patches of hair on their heads. Ukmedix is a great supporter of the drug because it is simply the most tested and researched anti-baldness remedy in the world and is the most statistically effective one too.

If you are suffering from male pattern baldness (or you think you are) you can have an online consultation with an Ukmedix doctor who will determine if Propecia is correct for you or not.
