Though hair loss and thinning of hair is more common among men than women as more then half of the population of men experience baldness after the age of fifty, but there are many women who too suffer from severe hair loss. Almost 60 million Americans are affected by hair thinning problems and the emotional effects associated with hair loss are adverse, especially for women.
If you are heading for a hair thinning treatment, you should first consult a doctor who will diagnose the exact cause of your hair loss and will prescribe effective medicines accordingly. Apart from hormonal activities hair thinning is caused due to unhealthy eating habits, genetic illness, malnutrition, and side effects caused by intake of various medicines like those taken for chemotherapy and such.
Thinning hair treatment includes both home made remedies as well as modern medication facilities. There are only few medicines that have undergone extensive clinical testing and have been approved by FDA. Finasteride has passed the strict regulations of the FDA and is proved to be safe for consumption and also effective for hair thinning treatment. You may check out the following drugs that contain Finasteride, which is quite efficient in fighting against hair loss and hair thinning.
Propecia® - This medicine was earlier prescribed for treating enlarged prostates. Later it was noticed that the medicine also helps in re-growing and thickening of hair. The drug is now available in milder dosage of Finasteride so that it can be solely be used as a hair treatment solution. The medicine is effective for treating female baldness too. But the product should strictly be avoided by pre-menopausal ladies and pregnant women as consuming the medicine may cause defective child births.
Proscar® - This medicine containing Finasteride was used for prostrate enlargement treatment but later on the medicine underwent several tests and was approved by the FDA as a hair treatment medicine. The medicine is largely used as a cosmetic treatment solution even though it is not to be sold without a prescription.
Avodart® - Avodart is now undergoing the FDA process of approval. The drug contains dutasteride which actually blocks 95% of the DHT, hormone that causes hair loss where as finasteride blocks 70% of the hormone secretion.
