Proscar (finesteride, aka Propecia) is a prostate medication that is also marketed as a treatment for male pattern baldness. It doesn’t significantly regrow lost hair but it halts the progress. It is cheap when purchased as a prostate medication (it can be pill cut into the smaller doses needed for hair loss). It’s not a messy topical like Rogain, just a pill to take every day. If you start taking it when you first notice the signs of hair loss it’s essentially a cure.
