About Propecia This medication approved by the FDA is used for hair loss. It happened to be the first treatment for men in pill form. The substance what makes Propectia work, is called Finasteride. It was initially approved as so-called Proscar, a treatment for prostate enlargement. There is 1 mg of finasteride in Propecia and 5 mg in Proscar. It was observed that some patients being treated for prostate enlargement had some regrowth of hair in areas of male pattern hair loss. The medicine will not be marketed for women because it causes birth defects, and the safety and efficacy have not been established in women. Recently, FDA's Dermatologic and Ophthalmic Drugs Advisory Committee discussed Propecia. The committee offered labeling suggestions in the context of an overall generally favorable discussion.
