Overview

Worried about ongoing hair loss? Propecia is the original, world-renowned brand of finasteride, trusted by millions of men to protect against thinning and boost regrowth. Just one tablet a day helps fight back against DHT — the hormone behind male pattern baldness - so you can hold onto your confidence as well as your hair.

All Propecia requests at SwiftMedi are carefully checked by a UK-registered prescriber, with fast, discreet delivery.


What is Propecia


Propecia contains 1mg Finasteride, the same active ingredient found in generic Finasteride tablets. It belongs to a class of medicines known as 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, which reduce levels of the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Lowering DHT helps to:

  • Slow or stop further hair loss
  • Support regrowth in thinning areas
  • Preserve existing hair for longer


While Propecia and Finasteride work the same way, many men choose the Propecia brand for added reassurance and familiarity.

Directions

  • Take one 1mg tablet once daily, at the same time each day.
  • Tablets can be taken with or without food.
  • Continuous use is essential — stopping treatment usually leads to hair loss returning within 6–12 months.
  • Do not take more than the recommended dose.


It usually takes 3–6 months of regular use before noticeable improvement appears.

Side Effects

Like all medicines, Propecia can cause side effects, although not everyone gets them.

Common (may affect up to 1 in 100 people):

  • Reduced sex drive (libido)
  • Difficulty getting or keeping an erection (erectile dysfunction)
  • Problems with ejaculation

Less common (may affect up to 1 in 1,000 people):

  • Breast tenderness or enlargement
  • Testicular pain or discomfort
  • Low mood or other mood changes

Rare but serious (seek medical advice immediately):

  • Signs of a severe allergic reaction: swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat, or difficulty breathing.
  • Feelings of depression or suicidal thoughts.

Disclaimer: This is not a complete list of side effects. Always read the patient information leaflet that comes with your medicine. If you notice anything unusual or concerning, stop using the medicine and seek medical advice promptly. In an emergency, call 999 or go to A&E.

Warnings

Propecia may not be suitable if you:

  • Have liver problems
  • Are allergic to finasteride or any ingredients in the tablet


Important notes:

  • Propecia is not for use in women or children.
  • Women who are pregnant must not handle crushed or broken tablets, as exposure can harm a developing male foetus.
  • Propecia does not permanently cure hair loss - it only works while treatment continues.
