    TLDR FT-Raman spectroscopy is effective for identifying drug polymorphs, ensuring quality and stability.
    The study compared the effectiveness of Fourier Transform-Raman (FT-Raman) spectroscopy in detecting polymorphism in Lamivudine and Finasteride drugs. The authors highlighted that FT-Raman spectroscopy provided sharp, well-resolved bands and did not suffer from sampling issues common in other techniques like X-ray powder diffraction. The results demonstrated that FT-Raman spectroscopy is advantageous for identifying polymorphic forms, ensuring drug quality and stability.

      The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
