2 / 5 results- Alfatradiol: What does a form of estrogen have to do with hair loss in men? Alfatradiol (17α-estradiol) is a topical hormone sold without prescription in German pharmacies, licensed there for mild androgenetic alopecia, and not FDA-approved. The controlled trial evidence is in women, where hair density and thickness stayed nearly unchanged over 6 months while minoxidil improved them (the trial had no placebo group); no comparable placebo-controlled trial in men appears to have been published.
