Wacky new drug of the week

I think it's dangerous how freely we treat ourselves with medications that aren't fully understood (the list of horrible side effects on ads amuse and scare me). But this really takes the cake, increasing eyelash growth with glaucoma medication.

This is the best part, the wacky side-effects:
"While he said his patients were happy with the results, Sinha noted another unpleasant side effect if the user is not careful while wielding the applicator. "One patient was messy and grew small, fuzzy hair on her eyelid," Sinha said. He instructed the woman to stop using the product, and the unwanted hair eventually fell out."

At least it's directly applied. I hate when people ingest pills for very narrow, sometimes silly conditions.
