Prescription Medicines That Are Proven To Treat Hair Loss

If you are like millions of Americans and are losing your hair, you can do something to stop it. Years ago, there were no viable treatments on the market to slow or regrow your hair back. In the last 10 years a couple of drugs have gained popularity by treating and regrowing hair. There are two current medicines on the market. One requires a prescription and the other medicine is an over the counter remedy. Both medicines have been proven effective by the Federal Drug Administration for slowing and regrowing back your hair.

Minoxodil

Minoxodil is the active ingredient in Rogaine. Rogaine is a topical solution that is applied twice daily to the scalp. Over the course of a few months, not only will it slow your hair loss but also regrow it. Regrowing your hair can take a while and results are more often seen on the crown of the scalp.

Propecia

Propecia is


actually a drug to shrink the prostate, but was shown effective in controlling the hormones that cause hair loss. Propecia requires a prescription by your doctor. This drug has been proven to work better then Minoxodil in regrowing hair back. It also grows hair back on the front of the scalp as well. While both remedies are not a cure and won't grow back a full head of hair, they do slow down the hair loss and can fill up some of the more pronounced areas. So if you're losing your hair check into these two hair loss remedies.
