The president is likely to be remembered by his country for his role in this war. In a statement on the French news website the US president said:
“I have never heard of this regime being given the power to kill and take drugs. They are not responsible for their conduct and for the consequences.”
The head of the pharmaceutical company, Pfizer, will soon be remembered as a “man of the People” who “has made millions in public money and has continued to do so.”

Pfizer to announce a decision to remove PropeciaPropecia, a hair loss treatment for men, has faced a massive challenge from the US president in recent weeks
Pfizer has been accused of failing to protect the public from a growing threat of a new “new drug”. As a result, many of the drug companies are expected to be forced to pull back its patent for the drug in light of the recent announcement of its approval.
The drug, called finasteride, has already received more than 1 million doses in the US since its approval last November. Propecia, which is the only hair loss treatment on the market, is the first to be introduced by the US in the treatment of male pattern baldness.
Pfizer’s decision to pull its Propecia patent will have devastating consequences for the US drug industry
“It was announced by the US president at a press conference that Propecia, a treatment for hair loss in men, will be approved for sale in the US in the second half of this year. The Food and Drug Administration has advised that its drug should not be used in patients who are unable to take finasteride,” said Dr David Graham, Pfizer’s medical director of global product portfolio.
In the US, Propecia has been available for 1.9 million doses since it was introduced in November.
Pfizer says it has “continued to fight the growing demand for a new drug” and has launched an “informed consent process” to ensure its products meet the “expectations” of consumers.
Pfizer is confident the drug is worth the risk
“The company’s commitment to patient safety is unwavering,” said Dr Graham. “This decision is good news for patients and we hope that the drug will become a blockbuster drug.”
‘Unlock the door’
Pfizer’s decision to remove Propecia from the market has had devastating consequences for the US drug industry. The company has been struggling to defend its products in court. In a statement on the French news website, the US president said:
“We have long known that the drug Propecia was developed by the company. In a sense, it was developed by Pfizer.
“However, the company was confident the drug was worth the risk. The drug was developed by Pfizer in the US and was known to be a ‘new drug’.”
Pfizer has been accused of failing to protect the public from a growing threat of a new ‘new drug’
Pfizer says that the company “has been accused of failing to protect the public from a growing threat of a new drug.” The drug, which is already sold as Propecia, has already received more than 1 million doses in the US since it was introduced in November.
Propecia contains a medicine called finasteride. This belongs to a group of medicinescalled Type II ‘5-alpha reductase inhibitors’.
Propecia is used for the treatment of male pattern hair loss (also known as androgeneticalopecia). Propecia increases hair growth on the scalp and prevents further hair loss inmen. Men with mild to moderate, but not complete hair loss, can benefit from usingPropecia.
How does the hair on your head grow?On average your hair grows about 1 centimetre (half an inch) each month. Hair growsfrom hair follicles, which are located under your skin.
A single scalp hair grows continuously for 2-4 years (growth phase) and then stopsgrowing for 2-4 months (rest phase). After this the hair falls out. In its place a newhealthy hair begins to grow, and the cycle is repeated. The hairs on your scalp arealways in different stages of this cycle so it is normal to lose scalp hair every day.
What is male pattern hair loss?
Male pattern hair loss is a common condition in which men experience thinning of thehair on the scalp, often resulting in a receding hairline and/or balding on the top of thehead. This condition is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic factors and aparticular hormone, DHT (dihydrotestosterone).
DHT causes a decrease in the growth phase and thinning of the hair (see picture). Thisleads to male pattern hair loss. These changes can start to occur in some men in their20s and become more common with age. Once hair loss has occurred over a longperiod of time, the hair may be permanently lost.

Hair loss is very bothersome in men and is more likely to occur in men with a history of enlarged prostate or difficulty in emptying the bladder.Finasteride side effects
As with any medicine, there is the risk of experiencing some side effects -
There is a theoretical risk of increased hair loss (see picture). If you experience any of these symptoms stop using Propecia and seek medical attention.
Hair loss related to dutasteride

Propecia side effects
as with any medication may cause side effects.
These effects are not intended for use by all men and may, if used, could increase the risk of:
In particular sunburn and flushing may occur. These side effects are likely to be more likely to occur in men using Propecia and may also occur in men taking other medicines such as finasteride or dutasteride. Rarely side effects can occur with use of other medicine such as Proscar and/or with use of other types of cancer treatment such as blood cells, hormone therapy and some types of surgery.
Like all medicines, Propecia may cause side effects. Very common and may occur in some men taking other medicines and in men using other medicines for prostate problems and/or prostate cancer.
Prices for Propecia and finasteride were remarkably stable at CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart during the second half of 2020.
Average prices for Propecia and its generic equivalent, finasteride, at CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart ended the second half of 2020 almost exactly where they began the six-month period in July. Prices at all three pharmacies started 2020 with a healthy 50% price cut for Propecia and nearly 75% price cut for finasteride, both of which held steady.
Prices dipped by another 10% or so starting in April, but this discount quickly dried up and prices returned to the low-to-mid $4 range for Propecia 1 mg. Generic finasteride prices have held steady ever since at all three pharmacies.
Propecia and finasteride are arguably the most effective treatments to combat male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia. Thenoted that these medications “have been clinically proven to successfully treat hair loss in men to varying degrees.” In some cases, men treated with these drugs have experienced an end to hair loss, while in others, hair loss not only stops but some hair regrows as well.
At CVS, the average price for Propecia began the second half at $4.33 per 1 mg tablet in July. It’s remained at that price through the first quarter of 2021
Similarly, CVS’s price for finasteride 1 mg began and ended the second half of 2020 at $2.70, where it’s remained
Following the same pattern seen at CVS, Walgreens price for 1 mg Propecia began the second half at $4.35 in July and ended it at the same price in December. Walgreens is the most expensive between the three pharmacies but only by pennies.
Walgreens price for 1 mg finasteride was $2.58 in both December and March.
Displaying their usual propensity for undercutting the competition, Walmart’s prices for 1 mg Propecia were consistently the lowest at $4.14 for the entirety of the second half of 2020. That’s remained in place through March.
Finasteride prices at Walmart held steady at the bargain basement price of $1.13 in each month of the second half, producing a completely predictable six-month average of … wait for it … $1.13.
A complete snore-fest at all three major pharmacy retailers? Or a beacon of stability amidst the volatility of literally everything else this year? You decide.
The main culprit behind male pattern baldness is an androgen known as dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a derivative of testosterone, the primary male sex hormone. DHT gradually shrinks hair follicles until they can no longer support hair growth. An enzyme known as 5-alpha-reductase apparently triggers the conversion of testosterone into DHT. Propecia and finasteride combat hair loss by inhibiting this enzyme, thus reducing scalp levels of DHT.
