    TLDR Minoxidil is a popular hair growth treatment, but how it works isn't fully understood.
    Minoxidil was initially used as an antihypertensive medication, but its side effect of hypertrichosis led to its development as a topical treatment for hair growth. By 2002, it was the primary treatment for androgenetic alopecia and was also used off-label for other hair loss conditions. Although widely used, the precise mechanism by which minoxidil promotes hair growth was not fully understood. The article reviewed and updated information on the pharmacology, mechanism of action, clinical efficacy, and adverse events associated with topical minoxidil.
