Propecia works by blocking the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which is responsible for converting testosterone into DHT. DHT is a hormone that causes hair loss.

In addition to its mechanism of action, Propecia also reduces the levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the body. This hormone is responsible for hair loss and contributes to the development of male pattern baldness.

Like all medications, Propecia can cause side effects. While not everyone experiences them, some people may experience more serious side effects.
