    Hudson Polonini, Carolina C V Silva
    Studysummary In this study, researchers evaluated the stability and color changes of compounded minoxidil formulations used for alopecia, finding that while the formulations remained chemically and microbiologically stable for up to 380 days, significant color changes were observed, which likely do not affect the product's effectiveness.
