Question

Matt Tahsini, MD · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question. Solasodine is used in the treatment of cancer. To my knowledge it is not used for hair loss. I believe using Minoxidil is what you should be using to treat hair loss issues. If your doctor insists on you using Solasodine you might go for a second opinion. I wish you the best.

Great question. There are many, many hair growth products in the market at the moment. However, most of them don't have any human clinical research studies to support the product's effectivity. I couldn't find any Solasodine human hair loss clinical studies. So, I will suggest you to use topical Minoxidil that is approved by the FDA. Also, I recommend oral Finasteride (0.25- 1 mg) and/or topical Minoxidil (2% or 5%) or oral Dutasteride (in some cases) only to my hair loss patients. Good luck.
