    TLDR Oral minoxidil and topical minoxidil 5% both effectively improve female-pattern hair loss with safe side effects.
    This study compared the effectiveness of low-dose oral minoxidil (OM) and topical minoxidil (TM) 5% solution for the treatment of female pattern hair loss (FPHL). The results showed that low dose OM provides improvement of FPHL that does not differ from TM 5% solution, with a safe profile and well-tolerated adverse effects. OM can be considered an option for FPHL patients with poor compliance and/or intolerability of TM.
