Propecia and Rogaine – Best Cures for Hair Loss

New York’s WABC posted this summary of a report survey conducted by Consumer Reports about the best cures for hair loss or baldness. According to the report, Propecia and Rogaine may be the best in the market today.

— The prescription drug finasteride was by far the most effective treatment for men – though it’s not available for women. It’s also sold under the brand name Propecia. Of those surveyed, 27 percent said it was very effective and an additional 41 percent said it was somewhat effective.

— The only other FDA-approved treatment for hair loss is Minoxidil, also sold as Rogaine. It’s approved for men, and for women in lower doses. But only 4 percent of those surveyed said it was very effective at treating hair loss.
