Azidothymidine (AZT) to Treat Hair Loss?

Hello Dr. Rassman,

I have a question about a Today Show video that I saw, which mentions a possible cure for baldness using azt azidothymidine. Do you have any further information on this research?

Thank you for your great work!

No, I do not have information on this. Both AZT (azidothymidine) and HIV do produce hair loss. I’ve not heard about AZT as a hair loss treatment. When did this Today show air and is the video online? I’m curious to see what you’re referring to.
