Eye lashes

I too have noticed that my eye lashes have grown significantly since starting to take Ganfort. I wonder if I put a few drops on my follically challenged head it will begin to cure my baldness? Any thoughts, anyone?

Sadly, no it doesn't work. You need the healthy hair follicles to be there in the first instance. Also don't forget that eye drops are a medicine/drug and will be absorbed through your skin and enter your body system. As with all medicines there are side effects and this could increase your chance of experiencing them with greater effect. I definitely don't advise doing this.

Don’t worry Helen. Your advice is spot on. Just meant as a giggle but nice to know someone cares!

😀Glad to hear you were joking, thought you might have been but due to past experience of people dong this, I couldn't take the change! 😁
