Investigation on the Effect of 7% Chamomile Extract on Cutaneous Side Effects of Minoxidil in Treatment of Male Androgenetic Alopecia

This study found that combining 7% chamomile extract with 5% minoxidil solution may reduce cutaneous side effects like itching, scaling, and erythema in male patients with androgenic alopecia, potentially improving treatment compliance.

In this study, researchers reported that an herbal extract with dihydroquercetin glucoside, epigallocatechin gallate glucoside, zinc, and glycine showed similar effectiveness and safety to minoxidil in treating androgenetic alopecia over 24 weeks, with no significant differences in hair growth outcomes between the groups.

This study reviewed literature on the adverse effects of Minoxidil in treating androgenetic alopecia, highlighting common reactions like hypertrichosis, scalp irritation, and contact dermatitis, while noting less frequent cardiovascular symptoms, concluding that the treatment is effective and generally well-tolerated.

This study found that a multimodal microemulsion containing minoxidil, diclofenac, and tea tree oil was significantly more effective and stable than minoxidil alone in treating androgenic alopecia over a 32-week period.

This pilot study found that a multimodal minoxidil microemulsion with diclofenac and tea tree oil was more effective and safer than minoxidil alone for treating androgenic alopecia over 32 weeks.
