Australian Dermatologists' Prescribing Behaviors for Female Androgenetic Alopecia

The study investigates the prescribing behaviors of 54 Australian dermatologists for female androgenetic alopecia (FAGA), a condition affecting about half of women and causing significant psychological impact. The research focuses on the use of treatments such as spironolactone, systemic minoxidil, topical minoxidil, and combination therapies. Despite the high prevalence of FAGA, treatment options have been traditionally limited, highlighting the importance of understanding current prescribing patterns to improve patient outcomes.
