Is the hair real or fake? This question that Donald Trump haters and supporters have been wondering for a long time had been already answered.
Thanks to the President’s physician, Dr. Harold N. Bornstein who had mentioned that the president has all his hair natural. But, the catch is that the famous 70-year-old businessman takes finasteride, a hair growth medicine that Merck markets under the name Propecia.
The Sun then reported that Bornstein had been treating the politician for 36 years. Bornstein also has revealed that he takes the same drug as well to maintain his hair’s shoulder length. For general information, Finasteride is originally a drug formed as a prostate drug but was soon discovered to fix male’s hair loss.
Propecia as the medicine market would like to call it slow the breakdown of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone which is the key chemical that induces male baldness. Thus the process also lowers protein prostate-specific antigen per Telegraph. Hence, before the November election, the report released by Bornstein regarding Trump’s health condition, indeed showed that the President have low levels of PSA.
Despite the revelation, Washington Post exposed the danger of the side effects that Trump’s hair loss medicine poses. It was identified that drug manufacturer, Merck had been subjected to approximately 1,370 number of lawsuits since the finasteride they had sold had caused tons of side effects for male users.
What’s more is that after those events, the Food and Drug Administration then said that the medicine company should warn users about the dangers of finasteride. The FDA then required the pharmaceutical giant to put that the drug may be associated with “libido disorders, ejaculation disorders, and orgasm disorders that continued after discontinuation of the drug.”
Nonetheless, a study published in Journal of Sexual Medicine also revealed that a test was done on fifty-four men that still experienced sexual dysfunction after three months of finasteride intake cease. The men were then reassessed after 14 months and still revealed that ninety-six percent of the men still have “persistent sexual dysfunction.”
