Asked By:swbot in Birmingham, Alabama

If oral minoxidil has been being used off label in treating hair loss for at least a few years now, why is it impossible to find before/after pictures? Is this pill actually effective in treating male pattern hair loss on the scalp, or is it just a fad/doctor hunch?
