No, it really doesn’t.
So has gefitinib! Secondly, cyclosporine has only been studied for Alopecia Areata, and even then, in clinical trials, it has failed, simple. It is not a reliable hair growth agent. If it works on the occasional patient, it is irrelevant.
youngn, the immune approach is a dead-end. I’m not trying to give you a hard time. I’m trying to save you from wasting your time on an issue that should not be taken seriously.
[quote]why do you constantly repeat your exact same statements in multiple posts? Wouldn\\'t one post regarding cyclosporine have been sufficient?
researchers are not even considering cyclosporine to treat hair loss.

Not reliably at all. That\\'s the same reason we don\\'t pour gefitinib on our heads.

Ya, no $hit… this Jajar is annoying as hell. My response was never to imply that cyclosporine works for everyone. No one will ever consider prescribing it for hair loss because of the overwhelming negative effects it can have on your body. Cal said:
Let’s not forget that scientists/doctors have centuries of experience with weakened and totally destroyed immune systems. It does not even slow or halt the ongoing MPB, let alone start reversing anything.

…which is not an accurate statement. Immuno-suppresants HAVE been shown to reverse some hair loss in some people. Well enough that the medical community deemed it useful enough to study:
DR Nigam,
Do you think the reason some are not responding to HM is because of the length of time the follicle has been inactive? In your experience are the young guys getting better response than older guys.
Dr Nigam,
do you can better explain us the issue of plucked hair?
Thanks
Amazing information
