learn Ketoconazole

Antifungal shampoo; small studies suggest a possible modest benefit in pattern hair loss, but it is not approved for that use. Oral ketoconazole tablets are a different product with a boxed liver warning.

learn Neem Oil

Oil from the neem tree, used as a pesticide and in traditional remedies. Human evidence for hair or scalp benefits is limited; it can cause skin allergy and is poisonous if swallowed.

learn Baricitinib

Baricitinib is a JAK inhibitor FDA-approved in 2022 for adults with severe alopecia areata, where about a third of trial patients on 4 mg regained most scalp hair. It carries an FDA boxed warning, and hair loss usually returns when it is stopped.

learn Microneedling

Technique that makes tiny skin punctures; studied mainly as an add-on to minoxidil for pattern hair loss, with low-quality evidence. No device is FDA-cleared for hair loss.

learn capsicum

Can the heat from capsicum actually wake up dormant hair follicles? There is no good evidence that capsicum on the scalp wakes dormant follicles. The one positive human study gave capsaicin by mouth with soy isoflavone.

learn Minoxidil

What are the side effects of minoxidil, and can oral minoxidil affect your heart? Minoxidil tablets are a blood-pressure drug whose US label carries a boxed warning for fluid around the heart (pericardial effusion, sometimes tamponade) and worsening angina; use for hair loss is off-label, and studies of low doses describe mostly mild effects but rare serious heart events. Do not start or change minoxidil without a doctor, and if chest pain, a racing heartbeat, breathlessness, fainting, swelling or rapid weight gain develop, stop and seek medical care.
