TLDR Combining dutasteride injections with oral minoxidil may improve hair regrowth more than using oral minoxidil alone.
This retrospective analysis involved 105 male patients with androgenetic alopecia and compared the effectiveness of dutasteride intralesional microinjections combined with oral minoxidil versus oral minoxidil monotherapy. The study aimed to evaluate whether the combination treatment offered superior results in hair regrowth compared to oral minoxidil alone. The findings suggest that the combination therapy may provide enhanced benefits for hair restoration in men suffering from androgenetic alopecia, although specific results and statistical data are not provided in the summary. Conflicts of interest were noted, with one author having a patent related to oral minoxidil.
