Is Propecia appropriate for women or children?
No, Propecia is for the treatment of hair loss in men only. Furthermore, women who are or may potentially be pregnant must not use Propecia and should not handle crushed or broken tablets. Propecia may cause a potential risk to the development of the male sex organs in the fetus. Propecia tablets are coated and will prevent contact with the active ingredient during normal handling, provided that the tablet has not been broken or crushed.
