Hair Growth Therapies for Androgenetic Alopecia

The article discusses a case report of a 32-year-old man with androgenetic alopecia who experienced hair regrowth after using a combination of topical solutions of minoxidil and tretinoin, along with oral finasteride. The authors recommend this regimen for patients with mild to moderate androgenetic alopecia who desire medical therapy following informed consent. However, the author suggests that carefully controlled clinical trials are needed to assess the contribution of each drug in a combination drug product before attributing efficacy to a new drug product. The author also emphasizes the importance of drug safety and the possibility of drug interactions with multiple therapies.
