    TLDR Oral minoxidil effectively reduces hair shedding in women with CTE, with no major side effects.
    This document is a retrospective study on the use of oral minoxidil in treating chronic telogen effluvium (CTE), a type of hair loss characterized by excessive shedding of telogen club hair from the scalp. The study found that oral minoxidil was effective in reducing hair shedding in women with CTE, with no significant side effects reported. The study suggests that oral minoxidil may be a potential treatment option for CTE, but further placebo-controlled studies are recommended to confirm this response.
