It is not approved anywhere; its hair-loss evidence is a 16-person Phase 1b announced only by press release, plus a completed 192-man Phase 2 in China whose results are not yet published.

learn Baicapil

Struggling with patchy hair loss like alopecia areata? Baicapil might help by reducing inflammation and reactivating growth. There is no published trial of Baicapil in alopecia areata.

One small randomised trial (26 women) found 5% azelaic acid comparable to 2% minoxidil for female pattern hair loss, and the anti-DHT rationale rests on laboratory work; for alopecia areata, telogen effluvium and seborrhoeic dermatitis there is no trial evidence for azelaic acid at all.
