Two new treatments for male-pattern hair loss

January 1998

    You'll see LOTS of ads for two new treatments for male-pattern hair loss...Rogaine Extra Strength and Propecia tablets.

    Rogaine Extra Strength is 5% minoxidil...instead of 2% like the original. The stronger formula grows almost twice as much hair...but for many men, it's still not much.

    Propecia is the first ORAL med for hair loss. It contains finasteride 1 mg...one-fifth the strength of the BPH drug, Proscar.
