Tokyo, Japan, May 30, 2006 - (JCN) - On May 29, Banyu
Pharmaceutical announced that the results of its recent trial of
Propecia, an agent for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (AGA),
have been published in the May 16 issue of Japanese Journal of Clinical
Dermatology, an academic dermatology journal. ``At that time, I flipped out, like a nut,'' said Gibson,
now 39, who was eventually diagnosed with alopecia areata, an autoimmune
skin disease that leads to hair loss. Alopecia is a medical condition that causes severe hair loss in men
and women. |
