Baldness
Most baldness is inherited, and although many kinds of soaps and creams have been touted as having miracle ingredients to make hair grow or to retard its falling out, no product has been proven to do so. One drug, Minoxidil, which was originally approved to treat hypertension as a 2% solution, was granted a Notice of Compliance in 1986 in Canada for stimulating hair growth on the crown of the head. This topically applied drug is available only through a doctor's prescription. The Health Protection Branch has banned the sale of any non-prescription hair cream, lotion, or other external product, usually sold by mail or through barbers or beauticians, which claims to grow hair or prevent baldness.
