learn Tofacitinib

Why is tofacitinib considered a medical treatment rather than a cosmetic or preventative hair product? Tofacitinib is a prescription JAK inhibitor regulated as a drug, with an FDA boxed warning; its use for alopecia areata is off-label. Studies report regrowth while it is taken, which usually reverses after stopping, so it treats disease activity rather than acting as a cosmetic.

learn Valproic acid

Why is valproic acid not considered a standard cosmetic ingredient despite its potential effects on hair growth? Valproic acid is a prescription anticonvulsant with a boxed warning for liver failure, pancreatitis and harm to an unborn baby, so it is regulated as a drug, not a cosmetic. Its hair-growth evidence is mostly cell and mouse work plus one small human trial, and oral valproate itself causes hair loss in some patients.
