Hello everyone!

I have had alopecia universalis for 9 years now (since I was 14, I am 25 now). I have tried everything under the sun, from ointments, injections to natural remedies, nothing worked and I have been wearing wigs for years. But 6 months ago I visited a doctor who prescribed a medication called "Baritava". It has been 6 months and I can say it has worked so much better than I could have imagined.

-Full head of hair (growth started within 2 months and I have 4 months of length in hair growth now)

-Eyebrows and eyelashes (eyelashes are almost fully back and I have full eyebrows now)

-Body hair slowly returning 

The best part is, it is 1 pill a day, which can be taken on a time you decide (but you must stick to the time you chose everyday), you can take it on a full or empty stomach and you do not have to take it forever (Dr. said for a year then we lower the dose then I can get off the medication).

Like any medication in the world, it has possible side effects so every few months you will get tests done, I have not experienced any side effects and my tests turned out good everytime.

I think it is worth talking to with your doctor's and see what they have to say about it.

Let me know what you think!

Hi, what is baritava and where can you get it in the United States?  Can you please tell me more?

Hi Sals!

I am not sure about the US because I'm based in Jordan. It isn't even available in Jordan so I had to get it from Egypt. 

I'ts best to consult a doctor for a prescription and so they can keep track of your progress and prescribe tests to keep track of potential side effects. I would recommend to visit a doctor and ask about the specifics but I believe it might be available in the US. Let me know if you have any other questions!
