Has anyone ever heard of Ru58841 for hair loss?

Question

I hear it really stops hair loss and regrows hair. The way people have talked about it online its seems like a miracle solution to baldness. I hear a lot of good things about it but then i read on a forum about some guy with heart problems as a result within a matter of days. He said he has heart failure. I hope someone can reply.

RU58841 is not FDA approved to be safe for the treatment of hair loss. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to evaluate and go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options and answer any questions you have about supplements. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

As quoted from a google look-up "In the early 1990s, scientists in France synthesized a new topical anti-androgen called RU58841 (or RU-58841).  This product was effective at tackling various androgen related disorders, including hair loss, acne and hirsutism".  I have no experience with this topical medication
