Proscar is an alternative to Propecia the FDA-approved hair restoration pill.

PROPECIA is the only once-a-day pill approved by the FDA for the treatment of certain types of male pattern hair loss in men. PROPECIA reduces DHT, a key cause of hair loss.

Clinical studies of PROPECIA demonstrated visible results.

THE FACTS ARE IN
A 5-year clinical study demonstrated the effectiveness of PROPECIA.

• 9 of 10 men who took PROPECIA had visible results—either regrowth of hair (48% [134 of 279]) or no further hair loss (42% [117 of 279])—vs 25% [4 of 16] who took a placebo (sugar pill), according to an assessment of photographs by an independent panel of dermatologists.
• 2 of 3 men who took PROPECIA regrew hair, as measured by hair count. All of the men in the study who were not taking PROPECIA lost hair.
• A majority of men who took PROPECIA were rated as improved by doctors—77% (210 of 271) vs 15% (2 of 13) of men who took a placebo.
• A majority of men who took PROPECIA reported that their bald spot got smaller, their hair loss slowed down, and the appearance of their hair improved.
