Why are drugs not the solution for Male Pattern Baldness?

The issue of ingested drug supplements for hair loss remains unresolved. The concept is simple: can scientists create a combination of drugs in one capsule that will alter our internal chemical glands? The idea is that if scientists can block or retard the organs and glands involved in the creation of DHT and other chemicals that lead to hair loss, then men and women would not lose their hair. Many products online claim to do just that.



The Reality of Hair Loss Drugs


Unfortunately, this is not the case. Similar to foams and sprays applied to the scalp, the best these 'wonder drugs' have achieved is a limited slowing of hair loss and, in some cases, a tiny amount of 're-growth.' By 're-growth,' we mean a light fluff of hair, not long and strong hair that can be styled. The studies certifying the effectiveness of these drugs were conducted by the manufacturers themselves, aiming to show some effectiveness. Any 're-growth' is only 'guaranteed' as long as you use the drugs for the rest of your life. If you stop using the product, your new hair disappears.


Side Effects of Hair Loss Drugs


Certain drugs like Propecia/Finasteride have been linked to men suffering from sexual side effects, including low libido, orgasm failure, erectile failure, and long-term impotence. To be fair, these side effects are listed on their website and packaging.


Considerations


Despite the pain of losing one's hair, trying drug treatments that offer minimal coverage at the risk of ill health and long-term personal problems is not advisable. It would be great if a pill existed that could give us all a full, thick head of hair. However, this pill does not exist. At Total Cover Plus, we believe in helping you look in the mirror and see the old you. We offer a full head of great hair without compromising your health. Sorry to burst the myths, but we hope to keep you healthy.


Conclusion


While the idea of a miracle pill for hair loss is appealing, it is essential to consider the potential side effects and the reality of the results. At Total Cover Plus, we provide a solution that helps you regain your confidence without risking your health.
