What is Propecia (Finasteride)?
Propecia contains Finasteride, a clinically proven DHT-blocking compound used to treat male pattern baldness and androgenic alopecia. Finasteride works by inhibiting the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme that converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) — the primary hormone responsible for hair follicle miniaturization in genetically susceptible men.
In the world of physique enhancement, Propecia is used to help prevent hair loss while using DHT-based anabolic steroids such as Masteron, Winstrol, or high doses of testosterone. It is also commonly used by those on long-term testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) as a scalp-protective agent.

Common Questions About Propecia (Finasteride)
How does Finasteride prevent hair loss?
Finasteride inhibits the 5α-reductase enzyme, which prevents the conversion of testosterone to DHT — the primary hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles in men with genetic predisposition.
When should I use Propecia?
Propecia is best started at the first signs of hair loss or as a preventive measure during anabolic steroid cycles that increase DHT levels.
Can I use it year-round?
Yes. Continuous use is required to maintain results. If discontinued, any regrown or preserved hair may be lost within months.
Are there side effects?
Some users report reduced libido or mood changes. These side effects are rare and usually dose-dependent. Most tolerate 1 mg/day without issue.
