TLDR A gel with dutasteride and 10% garlic extract may effectively treat male pattern baldness.

The study developed a topical gel using dutasteride and herbal extracts, such as garlic and onion, to treat male pattern baldness. The gel with 10% garlic extract showed the most promising results in enhancing hair growth, suggesting its potential as an effective treatment. The study emphasizes the benefits of delivering dutasteride directly to the scalp via a topical gel, which may reduce side effects compared to synthetic alternatives. Further animal studies are recommended to evaluate the hair growth and pharmacokinetics of the optimized gel.
