President Donald Trump's doctor Harold Bornstein claims the president takes a medication which stimulates hair growth.
The president's longtime physician revealed the information about the prostate-related drug and other medications he says Trump takes to The New York Times over several interviews.
Trump, 70, reportedly takes a small dose of finasteride.
The drug, sold as Propecia, lowers prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels and is used for treating male-pattern hair loss, the newspaper explained.

Bornstein told the Times that he, too, takes the drug, saying it helped him keep his shoulder-length locks and helped Trump keep his own hair.
The doctor said: 'He has all his hair. I have all my hair.'
Trump also takes antibiotics for rosacea, a statin for elevated blood cholesterol and lipid levels, and a baby aspirin every day so as to lower heart attack risk, the report said.
Trump's PSA level was 0.15, Bornstein said in two letters he'd written about Trump's health. The first letter came out in December 2015, followed by the other letter in September 2016.

The level prompted urologists - who weren't linked to Trump - to say he had to have received care for an enlarged prostate or prostate cancer, according to the Times.
Bornstein told the outlet that the commander-in-chief hasn't had an enlarged prostate nor prostate cancer, and attributed Trump's PSA level to Propecia.
The White House declined commenting on Bornstein's information and if the gastroenterologist remains the president's doctor, the newspaper wrote.
A White House spokeswoman did not immediately respond to an email message seeking comment from DailyMail.com.
