Propecia is the brand name of a well known hair loss treatment. The chemical name for Propecia is finasteride. This is a potent chemical and you need a prescription from a doctor in order to buy it. Because it’s so strong there are some side effects that people often experience. Some of them are quite worrying.
To begin with, Propecia is strictly for men only. Women can’t even touch it, especially women who are or may become pregnant, or who are breastfeeding. That’s because there are chemical agents in Propecia that have been known to cause serious birth defects.
Scalp Med, on the other hand, poses no such dangers to women. There’s even a special version of Scalp Med that’s made just for women who are losing their hair, which is a fairly common problem.
Again, if we turn to Wikipedia, we can read that finasteride (Propecia) “has been associated with depression . . . and possible irreversible sexual side effects.”
Whoa! That sounds scary. And, in fact, there is an online forum just for men who are experiencing these irreversible sexual side effects after using Propecia.
Here’s what some of these men had to say in this forum:
“I used Propecia for a long time and simply can’t believe the side effects caused by this evil drug. I’m sorry, but hair just isn’t worth all this.”
“Do you really want to risk losing your manhood for your hair? This forum is full of people who really couldn’t care a less about their hair loss since finasteride ruined their lives.”
Pretty amazing—and disturbing—stuff. Luckily, ScalpMED doesn’t have any of these negative side effects. It doesn’t work on a hormonal level, so it’s totally safe to use for both men and women.
