After a newspaper article describing use of low-dose oral minoxidil to treat hair loss (without new research findings), there was an immediate increase in prescribing. Media coverage alone may sometimes drive changes in prescribing. @AnupamBJena https://t.co/Ynu6JUzUau

.@ginakolata's story about oral minoxidil and hair loss was probably the most-read single item I've ever edited during my career as a journalist. Turns out it actually spurred a short-term boost in prescriptions of the medicine https://t.co/gmd0l0oVh6
