    TLDR Medications for male pattern hair loss are safe and work well.
    The research paper "Clinical and Trichoscopic Evaluation of Male Androgenetic Alopecia Patients" conducted a randomized interventional study on 40 male patients suffering from Androgenic Alopecia (AGA), a common hair condition that worsens with age and affects up to 70% of all men in their later years. The study was conducted from 2019 to 2023 at the Dermatology & Andrology Department, Benha University Hospital. The aim was to assess the effectiveness and safety of therapies for AGA in males. The results showed that the medications used for the management of male AGA are both safe and effective.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      The user has been using finasteride, minoxidil, and nizoral for hair loss but hasn't seen regrowth, only maintenance. They are considering switching to dutasteride, which is believed to be more effective, but are concerned about potential side effects.
