Prince William Could Be Using Propecia

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

According to UK news reports it appears that he is finally trying to do something about it and has sent aides who work for him in London to a Harley Street clinic that specialises in male pattern baldness.

While the reports cannot be conclusively confirmed and were denied by a spokesman from Clarence House it is almost certain that Prince William is concerned about his thinning hair and it is extremely unlikely that he has done nothing about it.

The news reports in the United Kingdom said that Prince William had been inquiring about the hair loss drug Propecia and at a glance he would seem to be a perfect candidate for that medication. Propecia is the most successful hair loss medication and is known to help around 80 percent of men with their pattern baldness.

It is bad enough that you suffer from male pattern baldness but for Prince William each time he loses a little bit more hair there is massive speculation in the press which can only add to his anxiety and worry about his hair loss.

Male pattern baldness is not actually an illness but purely a harmless and normal genetic condition however the fact that it causes such distress, anxiety and depression to many men means that it can be classified as something that needs treatment in order to ensure the well being of the patient.

Not everyone sympathises with Prince William as they say he hardly has a bad lot in life being born as an heir to the throne of England, Scotland and Wales and that he lives a life of gilded luxury and privilege. However there is no saying or knowing how Prince William’s confidence will be affected by his hair loss and how he feels about rampant press speculation every time his hair loss is reported.

Propecia’s Clinical Testing Wins Everytime

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

Many men panic to come up with a cure for the male pattern baldness and they overlook the simple fact that the hair loss drug Propecia is statistically the most effective method to combat the problem. Or should we put it in a different way… If you use any other method to beat male pattern baldness you are lowering your chances of success.

An independent clinical study done on Propecia over a five year period saw that 90 percent of men who use Propecia have some form of visible hair growth which consisted either of their hair regrowing or that their hair stops falling out. The results were that 42 percent of men reported that they stop suffering from further hair loss and 48 percent actually experienced positive regrowth of hair. The results were assessed by an independent group of dermatologists.

You should also consider that Propecia is the only hair loss drug approved by the Food & Drug Administration in America as well as the EMEA in Europe for the cure of male pattern baldness. If you look on the web you will find hundreds of different hair loss remedies which promise fantastic results but when push comes to shove they can’t back up their claims with proper independent scientific clinical trials which prove beyond doubt that their remedies work.

Time is not on your side if you start to suffer from male pattern baldness and going for a bogus remedy could mean that you lose the advantage of using Propecia early. Men who start to use Propecia as soon as they begin to notice their hair thinning often manage to get away with suffering from the effects of baldness completely.

Propecia Must Not Be Used By Professional Athletes

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

Another professional athlete has failed a drug test because of the use of the hair loss medication Propecia. Many people do not realise that if they are professional athletes they should not take the Propecia drug as its active ingredient Finasteride is a banned substance. Finasteride is not banned because it is a performance enhancing drug but because in some cases it can act as a masking drug which means that it can hide other performance enhancing drugs.

The latest athlete to fail a doping test is the golfer from Italy Alessandro Pissilli and as a result he may well face a two year international ban on playing professional golf. The Italian Olympic committee confirmed that Alessandro Pissilli had failed the test. Finasteride is also used to treat problems with prostate glands and Alessandro Pissilli’s local golf club issued a statement saying that he had notified the authorities about the use of the drug and had been using it for nearly 2 years. It is not entirely clear whether Alessandro Pissilli was using the drug to cure hair loss or a problem with his prostate gland.

Ukmedix News would like to remind all athletes that they should immediately inform doping authorities if they start to use Propecia and it is possible that they will be told that they cannot take it if they want to continue in professional sport. Propecia is without a doubt the most effective hair loss medication to treat male pattern baldness in the world today. Propecia is made by the drug company Merck and it is estimated that around four million men are using the drug today. Propecia is particularly popular with men because it is so simple to administer in that it comes in the form of a simple tablet taken once a day.
