  • hair shedding resulting in hair thinning is also a concern for both men and women.
  • Individuals suffering hair loss often experience psychological disadvantages, for example social phobia, anxiety, and depression, due to their change in appearance.
  • Minoxidil was originally produced as an oral anti-hypertensive drug (LonitenTM), which was found to also have hypertrichosis effects.
