How Does Alpicort F Measure Up?
Because I had a friend ask me about this stuff called Alpicort F, I figured there are probably other people out there that also would like to know if it’s a legitimate product. I have decided to share what I know and have found out.
For starters, Alpicort F is not an FDA approved product, and it does not contain any of the substances that are already approved by the FDA to re-grow hair. However, as I have mentioned before, that does not necessarily mean that it is a completely useless product. Many of the all-natural ingredients in my favorite products are not FDA approved either, but I have seen some great results.
This is a topical solution, meaning it is applied to the scalp rather than being ingested. Its product label says that it contains 5mg estradiol benzoate, 0.2g prednisolone and 0.4g salicylic acid in 100mL of solution. From all of the investigating I have done, I cannot personally conclude that any of these ingredients have ever been proven to decrease the rate of hair loss, much less regrow hair that has already fallen out.
There is a label on the packaging that states that there are a number of negative side effects associated with Alpicort F, any one of which would be reason enough for me to decide that I would rather opt for a different product than test this one out. Some side effects include weight gain, increased appetite, and indigestion.
There has not beena clinical trial for this product, though I suspect in the long run there probably will be. Either way, I’ll probably stick to other products for now and stay away from products like Alpicort F that have not been proven.
