The last 25 years have been a huge disappointment....
Think about it... in August 1988, the FDA approved the drug Minoxidil for treating baldness in men[17][21] under the trade name "Rogaine". The agency concluded that although "the product will not work for everyone", 39% of the men studied had "moderate to dense hair growth on the crown of the head".[22] - source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minoxidil
In 1992, finasteride (5 mg) was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of BPH, which Merck marketed under the brand name Proscar. It was also used for the off-label management of male pattern hair loss. Rasmusson and Brooks were awarded IPO's “Inventor of the Year” award in 1993 for their work on finasteride.[80] In 1997, Merck was successful in obtaining FDA approval for a second indication of finasteride (1 mg) for treatment of male pattern hair loss, which was marketed under the brand name Propecia. - source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finasteride
That's a quarter century... 25 years... and since then a complete standstill
It boggles the mind
