Background

On average, we lose anywhere from 50 to 100 hairs each day. This is normal. More than 50 percent of women experience balding. By 50 years of age, about 85 percent of men are balding, according to the American Hair Loss Association (AHLA). Current over the counter and prescription medications are not effective in all cases of hair loss and further they may accelerate hair loss in some cases. There is a strong need for an effective medication that addresses underlying pathology in hair loss.
