    TLDR Combining Procapil with minoxidil improves hair growth in men with hair loss.
    The study investigates the efficacy of a combination treatment using topical 5% minoxidil and topical Procapil in men with androgenic alopecia. Conducted on 150 male participants, the research found that the combination therapy significantly improved hair density and thickness compared to using minoxidil alone. The results suggest that adding Procapil to the treatment regimen enhances the therapeutic effects of minoxidil, offering a more effective solution for managing androgenic alopecia in men. The study highlights the potential benefits of combining these two topical treatments for better hair regrowth outcomes.
