21 分钟My colleague, Rolf Winkler, has a full head of hair.
Still, he gets targeted for hair loss medications all the time, often by telehealth companies, like Hymns.
I'm on Hymns.com and it gives you all these different options for medications that they'll sell you on subscription.
Rolf and I decided to see how quickly he could sign up for hair loss meds online.
Should we hit regrow hair?
Sure, let's try regrow hair.
Okay, alright, I'm clicking that.
It offers finasteride, which blocks DHT, a hormone that causes hair loss.
Finasteride is the generic version of the brand name pill,
propitia, and it has some known and potentially nasty side effects.
Then there's an option to click on safety information or side effects.
If I want to click on that, I don't have to.
I can just sort of continue.
And then you hit submit.
Yep.
And in your case, how long did it take before you got approval?
60 seconds.
60 seconds.
Just about as long as you've been listening to this episode.
That's how quickly Rolf got approved for finasteride.
