Clinic Watch complained about promotional material for Propecia (finasteride) which appeared on the Superdrug Online Doctors website. The complainant was concerned that the claim “95% of men see hair regrowth” could not be substantiated.
MHRA upheld the complaint. Superdrug Online Doctors agreed to amend the material.
