learn Cetirizine

How does cetirizine reduce inflammation linked to hair loss? Cetirizine is proposed to lower prostaglandin D2 and raise prostaglandin E2 around hair follicles; three small trials of a compounded 1% topical report modest increases in hair density and shaft thickness, with minoxidil doing better head-to-head. Topical cetirizine is off-label and unapproved for hair loss, and the evidence is too thin to call it effective or safe.
