minoxidil alopecia topical application drug release stability Rogaine

TLDR Minoxidil gels with higher concentrations are more stable and effective for treating hair loss.

The document "Preparation and evaluation of minoxidil gels for topical application in alopecia" from 2006 discussed the development and testing of minoxidil gels for treating hair loss. The researchers formulated different gels with varying concentrations of minoxidil, a common treatment for alopecia. These gels were then evaluated for their physical properties, drug release, and stability. The study found that the gels with higher concentrations of minoxidil had better drug release and stability, suggesting they could be effective for topical treatment of alopecia. However, the document did not specify the number of participants in the study.
