Also interesting that it's at a much higher dose than would be typical for the fast release oral version of minoxidil. 8.5mg twice daily vs 5mg once daily.
Does this target any particular area? Or does it make people more hairy everywhere? If it targets a particular area, can anyone explain to me how scientists discover such specific pathways?

Thats what I was looking for! some of drugs are just not worth the risk
Isn't it funny how woman can find bald or short men so unattractive and yet a man can not judge a woman in her weight
Interestingly, it's not a totally new drug. It's an extended-release version of the existing hair-loss drug minoxidil.

It's the same drug used in Rogaine, but oral form. Grows hair everywhere to some degree.
extended release by intestinal absorption isn't hard to formulate, but requires special equipment
caveat: alcohol ingestion can result in dissolving some enteric coatings, resulting in rapid release
