Trump’s hair loss drug that he took during his first term noticeably absent from latest medical reports

President Donald Trump’s medical records contain a conspicuous gap where a hair loss drug once appeared, according to a new report.

For years, the Republican president, known for his meticulously manicured mane, took finasteride, a commonly used medication to prevent male-pattern hair loss. Three of his previous doctors confirmed he used the drug both before and during his first term in office.

However, the orally administered drug has not been mentioned in any of the 79-year-old president’s medical reports since his inauguration, including a report published last week following his latest check-up at Walter Reed, The Washington Post reports.

That medical report, though, noted that Trump takes rosuvastatin and ezetimibe to manage high cholesterol, along with aspirin for heart health. His physician, Sean Barbabella, concluded that the president “remains in excellent physical health.”

When reached for comment, the White House declined to comment.

“The current report reflects all medications deemed clinically relevant to disclose at this time,” the White House told the Post. “No additional undisclosed conditions or procedures materially affecting his health status were omitted from this report.”

Some experts have expressed concerns about the implications of this apparent omission for transparency surrounding the president’s health.

“It raises significant questions of what else is possibly not being revealed,” Robert Klitzman, a Columbia University psychiatrist, told the Post, noting that Finasteride has been tied to an increased risk of depression.

The billionaire president, who turns 80 this month, has faced sustained scrutiny over his health since returning to office — particularly regarding frequent bruising on his hands, ankle swelling and apparent drowsiness during some meetings.

“The president has severe daytime somnolence,” CNN medical analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner said during an interview last month. “He falls asleep very often. He’s fallen asleep in the Oval Office on multiple occasions with people talking to him, in the cabinet room…And chronic insomnia is a severe illness. It can result in an increase in risk of dementia, a decrease in cognitive effects in older people.”

In an Ipsos poll released last month, bout 59 percent of respondents said they don’t think Trump has the mental acuity to serve in office effectively, and about 55 percent questioned his physical health.

The White House, however, has brushed aside such concerns.

“President Trump is the sharpest, most accessible, and energetic president in American history and any so-called medical professionals engaging in armchair diagnosis or false speculation for political purposes are clearly breaking the Hippocratic Oath they’ve sworn to,” spokesperson Davis Ingle previously told The Independent.

The White House has a long history of concealing the president’s health conditions from the American public.

For example, in the summer of 1893, Grover Cleveland claimed he was taking a four-day fishing trip — but was actually undergoing surgery to remove a cancerous tumor on his jaw. Woodrow Wilson’s debilitating stroke in 1919 was kept under wraps for months, and Franklin Roosevelt’s wheelchair usage was scarcely photographed or mentioned.

More recently, Trump’s predecessor, former President Joe Biden, faced accusations of concealing his apparent physical decline from the public. In their 2025 book “Original Sin,” Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson wrote that the Biden White House deliberately concealed the president’s deterioration.

The Independent has reached out to the White House for comment.
