1. Hair loss and its treatment
Sometimes, a person will lose hair because of illness, anxiety, stress, cancer, iron
deficiency or weight loss. Some types of hair loss can run in the family. Whatever
the reason, it can be upsetting.
However, if it’s due to MPHL then you do not need to suffer in silence, and live with
noticeable hair loss. (1, 6)
Half of all men experience male-patterned baldness. The most common kind of hair
loss in men starts around the age of thirty, with a receding hairline and hair thinning
on the temples and crown. (6)
You can now buy home hair loss medication online. Webmed Pharmacy is a
registered online UK pharmacy where you can buy medication for men. Treatment
is in the form of drugs called Finasteride or Propecia. Finasteride is the generic
version of Propecia, but it is equally effective and much cheaper. The General
Pharmaceutical Council regulates Webmed Pharmacy. (2, 3, 4)
Finasteride is a very effective treatment for hair loss and it can prevent further hair
loss and increase hair growth. It can take 3 to 6 months for the full effect to develop
and it is important to continue taking the medication. If you stop taking hair loss
medication, you are likely to lose the hair you have gained, within 9-12 months. (4,
5)

2. Some men who take the above drugs can experience side effects such as loss of sex
drive, infertility, increased heart rate, a rash or swollen breasts. (2, 3, 4)
In the UK, a prescription is needed to buy hair loss medication for men. Customers
will need to fill out an online medical consultation questionnaire. This is then
assessed by one of WebMD’s doctors, who will issue a prescription if there are no
medical reasons not to.
Should you then decide to buy your hair loss medication for men from Webmed
Pharmacy, it will be delivered to your door or an agreed pick-up point, the next
working day. You will be offered a 1-hour time slot and your medication will be
packaged discreetly.
Webmed Pharmacy also sells other types of hair loss treatments online including
shampoos and conditioners specifically manufactured to help treat hair loss in men.
These can be used in tandem with hair loss medication for men.
