FDA approves first-of-its-kind treatment for severe alopecia

The FDA has approved a first-of-its-kind treatment for severe alopecia. The autoimmune disorder causes people to lose their hair, sometimes permanently. Trinity Chavez reports for CBS2.

[@sweetypriya4196]

There is only 2 things I focused on and it helped me to grow back my hair: 1. Lowering the factors that cause hair fall like anxiety, fried and spicy food, smoking. 2. Stimulating the factors that cause hair growth like adding Coco Onion oil and shampoo, using reactivate hair growth serum of litlleextra, drinking enough water, fresh fruits, and vegetables.. What ever the reason there is always a solution to grow your hair. Just remain confident and don’t stress over it.

[@satishpatel6512]

Yes, Reactivate Hair Growth Serum does work for hair growth. I am noticing changes in my hair density since I started using it.

[@Mahesh-bunty419]

Hair growth reactivate serum is working. I am amazed by the improvement of my hair quality.

[@Deepak-khatriPP1521]

Three months applying reactivate hair growth serum and I'm already noticing noteworthy improvements in my hair growth.

[@chips6377]

but i heard shampoo is not good for AA

[@priyankajaiswal26]

Some things that have helped to control my hairfall include: (1) I quit wearing ponytails because it leds to tension damage. (2) I started massaging my hair and scalp 2 times a week with liitleextra cocoonnion hair oil while bending over & holding my head upside down to allow blood flow to the scalp. (3) Protecting my head while moving out to safeguard my hair from dust and pollution. (4) Using soft shampoo again from liittleextra only to cleanse my hair.

[@bajwakrish29A1]

Cocooonioon shampoo and oil is the best thing I ever applied on my hair, the amount of hair I lose reduced in just 3 months a lot.

[@whiteknightmedia120]

As someone whose had Alopecia since i was 4, I would rather be completely hairless than risk cancer. Researchers say the likelihood is low, and yet its still significant enough to put in on the warning... hmmmmm

[@Mizoturi]

even if the chance is 0.01% they have to put it on the warning, it is mandatory for them to do so, it is not like they decided to put in a warning because half the people will get cancer and they are good people so they better warn their patients.

[@DarthFurie]

I have 2 types of alopecia, I'm interested to see how this treatment progresses. Many treatments currently available for alopecia have unacceptable side effects and/or ridiculous costs

the BIG question is how much? is it affordable... is it covered by Insurance? I believe it's super expensive. $2,500/month and another site said %80 per day (one tablet). UGH!

[@jamieleetham3166]

I’ve read is pretty expensive and the price goes up depending on the mg. Though they do offer assistance on their website, it is upon approval. Insurance would also battle to cover :/ and not to mention the side effects

[@nadiaquraini344]

Misleading title. I thought they meant any alopecia. This is for alopecia aereata. Still good results. I wish it was more than 40% success because this will be ridiculously expensive

[@The_Book_of_Obadiah]

I had did some research on it about 6 or 7 years ago. An off label prescription cost $25,000 or more. At least that’s what I was told.

[@aprilm4423]

The companies do it on purpose. You're better off using herbs to give you the results you want. Before you use an herb to grow hair, research the side effects. If there's a side effect that's unacceptable to you, find another herb (doing the same thing for you) that has side effects you can tolerate (or none at all) and won't hurt you. Be patient and look carefully. There's plenty out there. God bless.

[@ThePacalypto]

There's a program called the bridge program. If you qualify, they help you pay for the medication. I know because I was approved, and a 30-day supply of the 4mg tablets cost me around $27. Plus, your dermatologist can get you free samples of the drug also. I got a 3 month supply while I was waiting to get approved for the bridge program. Hope that answers your question.
