Prescription Medicines That Are Proven To Treat Hair Loss
If you are like millions of Americans and are losing your hair,
you can do something to stop it. Years ago, there were no viable
treatments on the market to slow or regrow your hair back. In
the last 10 years a couple of drugs have gained popularity by
treating and regrowing hair. There are two current medicines on
the market. One requires a prescription and the other medicine
is an over the counter remedy. Both medicines have been proven
effective by the Federal Drug Administration for slowing and
regrowing back your hair.
Minoxodil
Minoxodil is the active ingredient in Rogaine. Rogaine is a
topical solution that is applied twice daily to the scalp. Over
the course of a few months, not only will it slow your hair loss
but also regrow it. Regrowing your hair can take a while and
results are more often seen on the crown of the scalp.
Propecia
Propecia is actually a drug to shrink the prostate, but was
shown effective in controlling the hormones that cause hair
loss. Propecia requires a prescription by your doctor. This drug
has been proven to work better then Minoxodil in regrowing hair
back. It also grows hair back on the front of the scalp as well.
While both remedies are not a cure and won't grow back a full
head of hair, they do slow down the hair loss and can fill up
some of the more pronounced areas. So if you're losing your hair
check into these two hair loss remedies.
