Prescription Drugs and
Medications for Hair Loss
What we can expect out
of drugs and medications
Know what prescription
drugs and medications can do before you spend the money
in expectation of miracles out of these for hair loss.
There two types: topical ones that you apply to your
head, and oral drugs that you take, often as pills.
They may help but they cannot regrow all the hair that
you have lost. You have to be happy with some mild regrow
despite the financial outlay for these prescription
drugs.
The main drugs in discussion
here are Finasteride (Propecia) and Minoxidil (Rogaine
or Regaine).
So not expect results
to show overnight. They usually take months, and to
fully appreciate the results, you have to commit to
take them as prescribed for one year. Remember that
hair grows at the rate of 0.5 inch a month.
Prescription drugs serve
to interrupt the direction your loss loss has been heading.
Therefore if you stop taking them, expect the hair to
resume its original state within 6 months. For the medication
to work effectively and safely, always follow the prescriptions
as directed.
After a while you may
decide it is worth the effort and cost to maintain hair
on the head with the use of prescription drugs and medication.
There is price for a head of hair. Otherwise cheaper
methods such as self-administered
low level laser therapy is an alternative.
