You've probably been asked hundreds of questions about hair loss solutions out there- well here's your hundred-and-one question about it. I don't know if you know Scalpmed its been splashed all over tv lately and seem to have great results if the patients they show are real. I just want to know if there is a difference between using a hundred dollar tv advertisment to a over the counter Minoxidi treatment. Thanks for your time.
If scalpmed has minoxidil in it, then there is no difference between it and the generically-available, cheaper over-the-counter minoxidil. All of the 'extras' are simply 'window-dressing.' It's kind of like the "Pro-active" acne-treatment phenomenon---no magic there, just benzoyl peroxide in a fancy infomercial. Get it?
