    TLDR Minoxidil-based alopecia treatments are common in Ukraine, but there's a shortage of combined medicines and few domestic options.
    The 2019 study by Karim et al. from Zaporizhzhia State Medical University, Ukraine, conducted a marketing analysis of the Ukrainian pharmaceutical market for alopecia treatments, focusing on medicines and cosmetics containing minoxidil and its derivatives. The study found that the market was divided into two segments: "Medicines" with 4 medications from the D11AX group "Other dermatological drugs", and "Cosmetics" with 29 products, 17 of which contained minoxidil. The majority of these products were available over-the-counter and were in liquid form, including shampoos and balms. The study identified a lack of aminexil-based combined medicines and a small number of offerings from domestic producers.

      This user, "ediblediety", has been taking oral minoxidil (1.25 mg daily), keto shampoo and occasional derm-rolling for 4 months to treat their hair loss, and they have experienced a shedding phase after the first few weeks of use. They report improvements in the thickness of their facial and body hair, but note that this may be daunting to women.

      Minoxidil requires at least 6 months to show results and may not work for everyone. Combining it with Finasteride can improve outcomes, but stopping Minoxidil can result in losing any regrowth.

      Low-dose oral minoxidil is a safe and effective hair loss treatment with fewer side effects than previously feared. Users often prefer it over topical minoxidil for better results, though some experience side effects like increased body hair and cardiovascular issues.

      The conversation is about hair loss treatments, with users recommending finasteride and minoxidil as effective solutions. Some users report side effects, but overall, the consensus is to use these treatments rather than waiting for a cure.
