Propecia contains Finasteride which blocks the action of an enzyme known as 5-alpha-reductase. This enzyme converts testosterone to another hormone (dihydrotestosterone, DHT) that causes the prostate to grow or leads to hair loss in males. However, this enzyme blocking action will increase the testosterone levels in the body which in turn will decrease the prostate size and increases hair growth on the scalp.

Having said that, this medication enables a man in erection, it does not lead to sexual arousal. Also, it is not a protection against sexually transmitted diseases (STD) such as HIV, hepatitis B, hence practicing safe sex is advisable.
