摘要

“Use it or loss it (Rogaine),” is an advertisement as a cure for baldness. Rogaine is a commercial name for Minoxidil. Minoxidil is a vasodilator used orally for treatment of severe to malignant hypertension. Minoxidil therapy also causes hypertrichosis (increase of body hair). This drug is used topically to treat baldness. Minoxidil is not effective in halting the receding hairline on the frontal scalp. Its antibald effect is limited to the vertex of the head. It takes several months (2-4) to regrow hair by twice-a-day application. Continuous use of Minoxidil topical solution is needed to maintain hair regrowth. Stopping Minoxidil application causes loss of newly regrown hair in 3 to 4 months. Purpose of this case study will answer several questions. Is Minoxidil effective against baldness? Is it a permanent, cost-effective remedy for baldness? What age group will get the maximum benefit from Minoxidil therapy? What types of baldness are amenable to Minoxidil therapy? Is it effective in female baldness? Is Rogaine free from remarkable adverse effects? What are the causes of baldness? Is there any permanent remedy for baldness? Case Report A 47-year-old man was impressed by the TV commercial of “Use it or loss it” by Rogaine as a remedy for baldness. He has moderate frontal baldness and thinning of hair at the vertex of the head. After purchasing the hair regrowth treatment package, he read the leaflet inside the package and was disappointed to reveal the information that the Rogaine is not useful for frontal baldness, Rogaine efficacy depends on continuous application and discontinuation of application results in loss of reground hair. In spite of all these negative information, he continued application for 15 days. There was redness, scaliness and flakinessof the scalp at the application site observed by his wife. The person was more doubtful about the topical therapy for baldness. Application of such a drug for the rest of his life seemed to him wastage of money. He was dejected and stopped application of Rogaine.
机译:“使用它或失去它(Rogaine)”是一种广告,可以治愈脱发。 Rogaine是Minoxidil的商业名称。米诺地尔是口服的血管扩张药,用于治疗重度至恶性高血压。米诺地尔治疗还会引起过度发汗(体毛增加)。该药物局部用于治疗脱发。米诺地尔不能有效地停止额头皮的后退发际。它的抗秃效果仅限于头部的顶点。每天两次使用,要花几个月(2-4)才能使头发再生。需要持续使用米诺地尔局部用药溶液以保持头发再生。停止使用米诺地尔会导致3到4个月内新长出的头发脱落。本案例研究的目的将回答几个问题。米诺地尔对脱发有效吗?它是永久的,具有成本效益的秃头疗法吗?哪个年龄组将从米诺地尔疗法中获得最大收益?米诺地尔治疗适合哪些类型的脱发?对女性脱发有效吗? Rogaine是否没有明显的不良影响?脱发的原因是什么?是否有永久性的秃头疗法?病例报告Rogaine的电视广告对“使用它或失去它”给一个47岁的男人留下了深刻的印象,作为秃头的补救措施。他额头秃发适中,头部顶点头发稀疏。购买头发再生治疗包装后,他阅读了包装内的传单,并失望地透露了有关Rogaine不适用于额头秃的信息,Rogaine的功效取决于连续施用,而中止施用会导致掉落的头发脱落。尽管有这些负面信息,他仍继续申请15天。他的妻子观察到涂抹部位的头皮发红,鳞屑和片状。该人对脱发的局部疗法更加怀疑。在他的余生中使用这种药物在他看来是浪费金钱。他感到沮丧,并停止申请Rogaine。
