What does that have to do with the fact that a pill being ingested has no direct relation with the place it has an effect on? That’s the point I was trying to imply, thus countering the point OP was making.
If we don’t know how those processes work but we know the effect they cause, how can you so confidently say that the hair growth thing is BS? Knowing how it works is besides the point, if we know the effect it causes and it being ingested, how can you call bullshit to another thing having an effect in a different part of our body than where it’s introduced?
I didn’t prove your point and I’m sorry to learn you think I did.
Ozempic gets injected into subcutaneous fat and works its way through the body, via the liver and heart, to alter the glp hormones in your pancreas and brain.
I’m sure we could think of lots of other examples where drugs are administered somewhere else to affect different areas.
OPs argument is as ignorant as flat-earth theorists.
Do you?
We have no idea how much of the medication works. We know it works in some parts better than others through observations and assumptions.
If we actually knew medicine, we tackle pain, injuries and other ailments through localised medical intervention, not taking a pill and hoping for the best.
Yep, take a pill that goes in your stomach, absorbed through the intestines, into your blood stream, liver, etc, to grow hair on your head.
Bullshit.
Yes, take a pill that goes to your stomach, absorbed by your intestines, into your bloodstream, liver, etc. to decrease your acne (isotretinoin)
… to stop asthma (salbutamol)
etc.

I meaaan, Paracetamol goes through the same process and it lowers headaches.
And you shouldn’t munch them too often because they do go through the liver etc.
OP has a point IMO.

The. You just proved my point, we have no idea how paracetamol actually works, after 130years of study.

Another example:

Whoever takes Ozempic is basically a lab rat at this stage. No short term issues have been observed but we don’t know the long term effects.
You say that but oral/sublingual fin and estrafoil worked much better than topical Finn/minoxidil alone.
That includes when I was still taking estradoil orally.
Tell us more about how you don’t understand how medication works?

We actually do not know how medication works.
You’d be baffled knowing how we research new medications (it’s randomly trying millions of different molecules).
One breakthrough where we know more is MRNA but that’s just a small part.
And metabolism? We have a poor understanding of about 10-15%(we don’t even know where it all happens or how much there is), the rest is unknown.
Oh shut up. Every drug has a defined target.
Oh look, an amateur pharmacologist.
This is why we grind aspirins into our forehead to relieve a headache.
