This study developed a Neusilin® US2-based solid self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system for finasteride that showed improved stability and drug delivery, with complete dissolution comparable to standard Propecia® tablets.
research Application of Scaffold-Based Drug Delivery in Oral Cancer Treatment: A Novel Approach
This review highlights the potential of scaffold-based drug delivery systems to revolutionize oral cancer treatment by enhancing targeted and localized drug administration, reducing systemic side effects, and providing environments conducive to non-cancerous cell growth, though challenges like scalability and biocompatibility remain.
research Formulation and evaluation of self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system for improved oral delivery of exemestane hydrochloride
This study explored the development of a self nanoemulsifying drug delivery system to enhance the solubility and oral bioavailability of exemestane HCl for breast cancer therapy.
research Advances of Non-Ionic Surfactant Vesicles (Niosomes) and Their Application in Drug Delivery
This study highlights that niosomes, or non-ionic surfactant based vesicles, offer an advantageous drug delivery system due to their stability, cost-effectiveness, and ability to enhance drug bioavailability and targeting efficiency for various therapeutic agents.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Haircafe - TOPICAL minoxidil is an anti aging drug
Topical minoxidil may cause skin aging effects like wrinkles and dark circles, possibly due to its alcohol content, while oral finasteride is reported to make users look younger. Switching to oral minoxidil or using moisturizers might help reduce these skin issues.
community Anyone had success with typical Trichologist treatments? Electro Stimulation, Ultrasound, Oxygen Infusion, etc..
Finasteride and minoxidil are recommended for hair loss, with skepticism about additional treatments like electro stimulation and oxygen infusion, which are seen as ineffective and costly. Pulsed ultrasound may enhance drug delivery, but most other treatments are considered ineffective.
community Affordable Oral Minoxidil in Canada (Quebec)?
Oral Minoxidil is back-ordered in Quebec, with users suggesting alternatives like Upguys, Costco, and Indiamart for more affordable options. Some users recommend getting a prescription for 10mg pills and splitting them for cost efficiency.
community [M31] 2+ years progress on Oral Dutasteride and Sublingual Minoxidil
A user shared their 2+ years progress on Oral Dutasteride and Sublingual Minoxidil for hair loss. Another user asked about the form of Minoxidil used sublingually.
community How Dangerous is Oral Min Really?
Oral minoxidil is generally effective for hair loss but may cause side effects like heart palpitations and facial puffiness. Users highlight the importance of monitoring blood pressure due to potential cardiovascular risks.

8 / 801 results- What are the side effects of minoxidil, and can oral minoxidil affect your heart? Minoxidil can cause side effects, and because it was designed as a blood-pressure drug, some of them involve the heart and circulation. Published studies of low-dose oral minoxidil describe mostly mild problems, but fluid around the heart, pericarditis and other serious events have been reported, and the long-term picture is still being studied. Do not start, stop or change minoxidil without a doctor, and if you develop chest pain, a racing heartbeat, shortness of breath, fainting, swelling or rapid weight gain while using it, stop and seek medical care.
- Is Verteporfin used as a topical treatment, injection, or oral medication for hair loss? Verteporfin is an intravenous drug approved only for an eye condition; it is not approved for hair loss in any form. In the few published hair reports it was injected into the scalp alongside surgical wounding — unverified case reports of one and two patients, not trial evidence.
- Is metformin used topically for hair loss, or only as an oral tablet? Approved metformin products are oral tablets only; there is no approved topical metformin for hair loss. Published human reports of topical use are a handful of uncontrolled, pharmacy-compounded case reports in scarring alopecia, and the most-cited clinical series actually used the oral drug.
- How is valproic acid being explored differently in topical hair products compared to its traditional oral medical use? Topical valproic acid is being studied for local effects on the hair follicle rather than the whole-body effects of the oral drug. The human evidence is one small randomized 24-week trial of an 8.3% spray; no topical valproate product is approved for hair loss.
- How does spironolactone help reduce hair loss when used in topical or oral treatments? Studies report that spironolactone slows androgen-driven follicle miniaturisation by blocking androgen receptors, with most evidence in women and mostly alongside minoxidil; it is a prescription drug and its use for hair loss is off-label.
