webfact Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Government pharmacists prep cheap baldness pillsBy Coconuts BangkokPhoto: Andrew BiggsBANGKOK: -- Taking action on the national crisis of baldness, government pharmacists will introduce a treatment to the market for as little as THB10.According to the Government Pharmaceutical Organization, it will bring to the market "GPO-Finax 1," a treatment based on Finasteride, which is commonly used to treat another male malady: the enlarged prostate. It’s also used for transsexual hormone therapy and apparently encourages hair growth as the active ingredient in treatments such as Propecia."This pill is another hope of bald people," organization Director Nopporn Cheunklim said.

thesetat2013 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 What national crisis? Baldness?? I would have never suspected that this was a national crisis in thailand. Is this true or is this just another excuse to get transexual hormone pills to the lady boys cheaply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halloween Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 My doctor told me once that male hair loss could be remedied by reducing testosterone, and the easiest/fastest way was castration. Choice of bald or balled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just1Voice Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I started shaving my head a couple of years ago. Love it. Save on shampoo & conditioner, and never have to comb it. And I've been told I look "good" like this, but that was by my wife, so I don't pay much attention to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saakura Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 My doctor told me once that male hair loss could be remedied by reducing testosterone, and the easiest/fastest way was castration. Choice of bald or balled. Can it be remedied by castration? Probably may only reduce further losses. Castration wont help a guy like in the photo.

bangkokfrog Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Seems like a joke. In any announcement like this in the real world, we would see reference to scientific tests submitted to the FDA that prove the claims. Any chance here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falangjim Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Lord ....I hope the Uncle Creepy in the photo is getting a hefty royalty payment..... Andy Biggs has been in Thailand ... forever. I think he speaks fluent Thai and because of his stature, which includes that massive cone-head dome of his, he's carved out a small niche for himself here. "Uncle Creepy" did make me laugh, though.

petedk Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I remember a science teacher at the university telling me that if I wanted to become as rich as Bill Gates I would have to develop a cure for baldness. Now the Thai "baldness pill" will sell for as little as 10 baht. Great! I don't have to spend money developing the pills. I can just buy for 10 baht here and sell for a fortune around the world.

zeichen Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I wonder if TV as well as Coconuts are ready for the huge lawsuit on their hands. Andrew Bigs is a very public figure and makes serious money from his endoresements. Since I doubt that he has endorsed the useage of his image for this article, expect a huge lawsuit of defamation of character. As for the article. Why not just say Thai doctors have made a knock off generic version of Propecia. I have a cure for male pattern baldness also it is called castration. These chemical treatments have huge side effects and impotency is one of them. I guess if you are mixing Human Growth Hormones, viagra and this just to have a normal life, you are pretty screwed.

Andrew Biggs is a big man who values a sense of humor , hence his popular Bangkok Post columns. I seriously doubt if Andrew would be offended by something as amusing as the 'baldness pill" , and stoop so low as to try and make legal mileage out of something so petty. As a matter of fact I suspect he may even do a witty column about it. Andrew's picture is in the public domain and there is nothing for him to be offended about. I have posted pictures and do not expect a phone call from Jason Statham's attorney. TVM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricardo Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 That illustrative photo is most disturbing ... I though Uncle Fester was supposed to be dead ?

Expat1 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I wonder if this is the same group that came up with the Thai HIV and cancers cure a while back? I have not seen much on those recently. One can only assume as to why that is. In any case, it will probably follow a similar course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
