Hi,
http://www.hhservices.net/ - finasteride hair loss

Propecia's main ingredient is finasteride which takes action against hair loss.

These usually are only sexually related ones such as male impotence.
finasteride hair loss
It has been approved for consumption by the FDA, and one should not worry whether they will experience these effects with such a low percentage.
