Propecia is a brand name for finasteride, which is the generic name of the active ingredient in Proscar. It is primarily used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and male pattern baldness. Proscar, on the other hand, is not indicated for these conditions.
While Propecia has been FDA-approved for over 20 years, there are differences between it and Proscar. BPH can occur either in or off-label for several reasons. Proscar, on the other hand, is an oral medication used for BPH that targets BPH symptoms rather than BPH itself. Propecia contains the active ingredient finasteride, which works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase (a type of hormone converted in the body to convert testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a key player in the pathogenesis of BPH. DHT is responsible for the miniaturization of prostate gland and the growth of prostate cancer cells. By reducing DHT levels, Propecia helps alleviate symptoms of BPH and alleviate the need for surgery in advanced cases.

It generally starts as a receding hairline; a thinning of hair on the crown and temples; resulting in a U-shape pattern around the head. In some rare cases, a male may end up completely bald.

Propecia (finasteride) is a drug approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in men with male pattern baldness. This drug can cause permanent hair loss, which may require surgical removal of the bald patches and the scalp. It is available by prescription only.
Finasteride can cause a decrease in libido, or a loss of sexual desire in some men. This effect has been known to occur with Propecia use, but it is not thought to have any significant effects on libido.
The drug works by blocking the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. This enzyme is responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is the hormone that causes hair loss in men. It is a male hormone. Finasteride blocks the conversion of testosterone to DHT. By blocking the enzyme, it lowers DHT levels, thus reducing hair loss and promoting hair growth.
