There are many types of prescription medications that are for hair loss alone and some of them do the job while others do not touch on the issue at all. There are many “miracle cures” that promise to be the next best thing in your hair loss solution and thousands of dollars may be shelled out to have them mailed straight from the infomercial to your very own home. Once you get the product however, it does very little to help with your hair loss and then you are back to square one.

Finistride is a prescription medication that promises to help people who are suffering from hair loss, but that’s not all it can also help with an enlarged prostate. A study was completed to show what happened when a group of men took Finistride for the very first time. After five years, 48 percent of them men had a hair growth while 42 percent of men found no change at all.

The lesson here when it comes to prescription medications for hair loss is the same as other prescription medications such as ones taken for high blood pressure, what works for one person may not work for another person.

Sometimes you have to shop around before you truly settle on one that does the trick and even then it may do the trick for a month and then stop. Prescriptions are not guaranteed to work on everyone. Hair transplant surgery however is more promising when it comes to helping anyone who has hair loss. It does not matter what caused the hair loss, you can still have hair transplants done and you will like the end result. Not only does it leave little scarring depending on the surgery your undergo but you can also spend less money buying hair transplants then paying for those prescription medications.
