COSMETIC AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS USING 2-DECARBOXY-2-PHOSPHINICO DERIVATIVES

摘要

A method for treating hair loss in mammals uses compositions containing 2-decarboxy-2-phosphinico prostaglandin derivatives. The compositions can be applied topically to the skin. The compositions can arrest hair loss, reverse hair loss, and promote hair growth. Compositions containing 2-decarboxy-2-phosphinico prostaglandin derivatives can also be used to lower intraocular pressure and treat bone disorders.
