Propecia and Rogaine Extra Strength for alopecia

Article Abstract:

The FDA has approved two drugs for the treatment of male pattern baldness. Propecia is a low-dose form of finasteride, currently used in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, which inhibits the conversion of testosterone in the body and may improve hair growth. Rogaine Extra Strength is a topical form of minoxidil, a blood vessel dilator used to treat high blood pressure. Rogaine may increase the size of hair follicles and stimulate hair growth on the head. Both drugs must be used continuously to maintain hair growth.
