Today's online edition of the New York Times, nytimes.com/2022/08/18/heal..., has an article on how very low doses of minoxidil can reverse hair loss. Anyone try it?

Haven’t tried the oral version but the topical version is very common. It’s what rogaine is. Oral minoxidil is an old blood pressure medicine that was phased out due to cardio side effects but in low doses is pretty safe and causes some hair growth. It’s been around for a long time and is only 67% effective in people and.most who do see results generally don’t see crazy results, just some minor regrowth.

Not what you're looking for?
