Since hair loss is one of the problems of the times, researchers and experts do not hesitate to work to find a solution that ends this dilemma.
In new research, it was found that the drug “Minoxidil”, which is used by spraying, and is the most common drug in treating the problem of hair loss and thinning hair, has another, more effective form.
Doctors have confirmed that they recently discovered that taking it in the form of pills brings greater benefit, as “Minoxidil” works by using enzymes in the hair follicles to stimulate the growth of new hair.
And recently, doctors found that taking it orally in the form of pills, will lead to its decomposition of the active form, which leads to better and faster hair re-growth.
Oral
It is noteworthy that “Minoxidil” has been available in pharmacies since the eighties of the last century as a spray that is sprayed on the scalp, to reduce hair loss and help hair grow in balding areas. It was approved as an aid in regrowth of lost hair for men in 1988 and for women in 1992.
Despite the great success of this drug, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its use as a hair loss pill has not approved its use as a pill to prevent hair loss.

While no trial approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for minoxidil in the form of pills has been conducted so far, according to the British newspaper, “Daily Mail”.
40 million American men suffer from baldness
The drug was first discovered by Dr. Rodney Sinclair, a dermatologist at the University of Melbourne in Australia, when he saw a patient with pattern baldness, who started to develop an allergic rash when sprayed on the affected area.
To treat this situation, Sinclair used “Minoxidil” tablets, which helped the hair grow.
It is noteworthy that recent statistics indicate that about 40 million American men suffer from baldness, while more than 50 million suffer from pattern baldness, or what is known as thinning hair.
