Is there any secret medicine for hairloss.. other thn minoxidil?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Finasteride: It is no secret, but there is another medication that is taken orally. The generic name is Finasteride (brand name is propecia). This drug has been known to cause birth defects if a pregnant woman just handles the tablets. Obviously, caution is recommended and discuss the risks with your physician.
