09 Baldness Cures and Consequences: E. Minoxidil (Rogaine)
This product of the Upjohn company is widely advertised as the only
approved cure for baldness.
Cost: ?
(a) Advantages: Scientific studies have proven that this drug works to
restore growing hair for many people, especially those who start
early and especially those with loss only in the crown. Apply a
bit twice a day, and eventually and slowly, hair comes back.
(b) Disadvantages: Your hair grows back, but painfully slowly. If you
stop using the drug, the hair falls out again. For many people the
gains are not aesthetically significant. Sure, there's more hair or
peach fuzz there, but you still look bald. The cost is relatively
high, and you can never stop buying it. Read the list of side effects
