Darshan addresses common questions about potential treatments for hair loss. He provides insights based on his expertise as both a pharmacist and an FDA regulatory lawyer.
Darshan explains that FDA-approved treatments for hair loss include minoxidil and finasteride. Minoxidil, originally a blood pressure medication, can lower blood pressure and has other side effects. Finasteride, used for benign prostatic hypertrophy, is also FDA-approved for hair loss but has limitations and potential side effects.
He also discusses other treatment ideas. Oral proteins are ineffective because they are broken down in the digestive system and cannot be absorbed properly. Topical proteins are similarly ineffective because their large molecules cannot penetrate the skin.
Darshan mentions stem cell treatments but notes that the evidence for their effectiveness is still limited. Despite their potential, no stem cell therapies for hair loss have been approved by the FDA, suggesting the data isn’t sufficient yet.
