i personally have been looking into Low Level Laser Therapy treatments...could be a total scam, but i'm kinda desparate!

Proscar inhibits natural testosterone from converting into DHT which is believed to cause male pattern baldness. It cantains 5mg of the active Finasteride per tablet, and is normally prescribed for enlarged prostate.musclehead134 said:hey guys i was doing some research on Proscar.

Propecia is the 1mg version of Proscar and is prescribed to treat hair loss. In most people, if you start taking it early enough, you will see some hair regrowth. At a minimum, it will dramatically slow your current hair loss. It normally takes 3-6 months for you to notice a difference. I've been taking it for about 7 years and I'm VERY happy with the results.
Since Propecia is a cosmetic drug, most insurance companies do not cover it. Therefore, many try to get Proscar prescribed. If you are taking Proscar just to treat hair loss, break the tablet into quarters, or even break it into halves and take every other day. 5mg of Finasteride a day will most likely cause some impotence!
scrappy said:Any of you guys notice that the DHT inhibitors make it harder for you to lose weight, especially around the midsection?
Chip Bronson said:definitely and it's because of the estrogen issue. dht, to a degree, acts as estrogen antagonist. if you reduce dht, you have more estrogen. also, if you inhibit test's conversion to dht, then you have that much more test converting to estrogen. so, in both cases, you end up with more estrogen and that's what makes it harder to lose weight around the abdomen. ever notice female fat pattern distribution?
