I'm really worried because I've been dealing with hair loss for the past 6 years. I just found out about Follice Rx tablets onlinedo you think they're legitimate?

I don't know about the specific brand "Follice Rx tablet", but a common medication used for hair loss is minoxidil. You can try using minoxidil solution 5% or 10% applied to the scalp once daily. It has been shown to promote hair growth in some individuals.
