Treatment Details
MINOXIDIL
Description: Better known as Rogaine, this is
one of only two FDA-approved treatments for hair loss. It stimulates
hair growth in both men and women by overriding the symptoms associated
with the condition.
Method of Use: Treatment involves daily application
of liquid to affected area.
Suitable for: Men and women suffering from male
pattern type hair loss. It may also help to a lesser extent in other
types of hair loss including alopecia areata.
Main Ingredient: Minoxidil is a chemical that
was first used to treat high blood pressure. It is available as
a topical solution in varying strengths (2% and 5%). The 5% solution
is approved only for men but many women use it without apparent
side effects.
More Information: Minoxidil

FINASTERIDE
Description: This is the approach of choice for
many men and with good reason - it tends to work for most users.
More commonly known as Propecia, this is a powerful
hair loss drug that works by inhibiting the formation of DHT in
the system.
After several months of usage DHT levels remain sufficiently
low to inhibit the adverse effects on the hair follicle, thus halting
hair loss.
THIS TREATMENT IS NOT AUTHORIZED FOR WOMEN OF CHILDBEARING
AGE AS IT MAY CAUSE ABNORMALITIES TO THE MALE FETUS. Some physicians
will prescribe finasteride to post-menopausal women diagnosed with
male pattern type baldness. In many instances, the use of estrogens
may be a more viable option for women but this is something that
should be decided in consultation with your physician.
Method of Use: Treatment involves taking a single
1 mg pill each day for an indefinite period.
Suitable for: Men suffering from male pattern
hair loss. It is not marketed for women and should be used only
on the recommendation of your physician.
Main Ingredient: Each pill contains 1 mg of finasteride.
