This cutting edge hair loss treatment is a repurposed drug from the 1990s
Briefly

Minoxidil, originally developed in the 1970s for high blood pressure, has gained renewed attention in the treatment of hair loss with dermatologists now prescribing it in low-dose pills. Research suggests this oral formulation may outperform the topical version initially popularized as Rogaine in the 1990s. Telehealth companies facilitate access to prescriptions, making it easier for patients to obtain the drug. Experts believe the drug's effectiveness lies in its ability to improve blood circulation to the scalp, thereby prolonging the growth phase of hair follicles.
Minoxidil pills offer a promising approach to hair loss treatment, with studies suggesting they may be more effective than topical solutions for maintaining or regrowing hair.
Dermatologists are increasingly prescribing minoxidil in oral form, leveraging recent research that indicates it could enhance blood flow and prolong the hair growth phase.
