Unsubstantiated Customer Drug Tip Of The Day...

....you just can't make this stuff up.


Customer comes in all excited to tell me he has found a new use for his Rogaine. Yes, the same Rogaine that made a splash a few years back as a moderately effective hair-growth remedy. It seems that said customer decided to put some on his........um......member.....and was happy to find that his sexual performance was greatly improved.

Now, why he was trying to grow hair on his penis or why he felt the need to tell me about this I have no idea. And while THIS IS IN NO WAY TO BE TAKEN AS A RECOMMENDATION TO TRY THIS YOURSELF if one knows a bit about the pharmacology of the drug, it would make sense. You see this magic potion began life as a blood pressure med. When taken internally, it opens up your blood vessels, and just like any other pipe, the wider the opening, the lower the pressure. It's theorized that that's how it has it's effect on hair growth, opening up the blood vessels underneath the skin of your scalp when applied topically , making it easier for blood to bring nourishment to your dying hair follicles. So, yes, if you put some on Mr. Happy, it could in theory open up the blood vessels there too, leading to increased blood flow, which is exactly how Viagra works.

May I never have a need to try these things myself........*knock on wood*
