Novos sistemas de veiculação da finasterida e sua aplicação no tratamento da alopécia
TLDR Topical finasteride formulations can treat hair loss effectively with fewer side effects.
The document discussed androgenetic alopecia, a common disorder affecting up to 50% of men and 25% of women by age 50. Finasteride was noted for providing satisfactory results in treating this condition, but its oral use was associated with significant side effects. The study aimed to develop three topical formulations of finasteride—lotion, shampoo, and solution—to minimize these side effects by localizing treatment to desired areas, thereby avoiding unwanted hair growth in other areas.
