There are many products on the market that claim to cure and reverse lost hair, but only two which are FDA approved hair loss treatments. These have been backed up by clinical studies and trials and are proven to work. They are the products Minoxidil and Propecia (Finasteride).
Propecia was approved by the FDA in 1997. It was originally developed to reduce prostate enlargement. It was the first pill and is only safe for use in men as it can cause birth defects in pregnant women. It is also recommended that women avoid touching or handling the pill as this can lead to some of it being absorbed. Although many men who take it stop when trying to conceive or during their partners pregnancy studies have shown the amount present in sperm is so small that risk or harm to a developing fetus is unlikely.
Minoxidil was the very first FDA approved hair loss treatment. This happened in 1988 and was sold as Rogaine in the US and available in a 2% solution only. Originally it was developed to treat high blood pressure and was in a pill form. It was then discovered that a side effect was hair regrowth and was then made into a topical solution specifically designed to re-grow hair. Until 1996 it was only available by prescription but can now be purchased over the counter. There is now a 5% solution which was approved in 1997 and studies have shown to be significantly more beneficial than the 2%. Minoxidil 2% solution remains the only FDA approved hair loss treatment suitable for women.
