What is Propecia and how does it work?
First you need to get a prescription for it from your doctor. Propecia is a pill that should be taken once a day.
You should take it with a glass of water at a set time once a day. Do not take it twice or more times a day as this will not give you additional benefits and can increase the risk of adverse side-effects.
Some people get a presciption for Proscar, which is the 5mg form of Finasteride, and use a quarter of a pill per day. This is done by using a pill cutter and it should roughly equal 1.25mg of Finasteride a day. Some doctors believe this is okay while others suggest sticking with Propecia. They both have the same active ingredient of Finasteride.
