learn Spironolactone

Is spironolactone better for hair regrowth as a pill or as a scalp solution? Oral spironolactone has the stronger published evidence for hair regrowth; topical versions cause fewer systemic side effects but have been studied far less, and no trial has compared the two head to head.

learn TDM-105795

How is TDM-105795 used in hair-related products, and is it being explored as a topical treatment, an oral option, or both? TDM-105795 is not sold in any hair product — it is an unapproved experimental compound. The public trial registry shows it has been studied only as a topical scalp solution, in three completed company trials (the largest a 71-participant, 16-week Phase 2); no oral programme is registered, and no peer-reviewed publication exists.

learn Melatonin

Is melatonin better as a supplement or applied to the scalp? No study has compared oral and topical melatonin head to head. Topical melatonin has one small placebo-controlled pilot trial in 40 women plus a set of mostly uncontrolled studies of a cosmetic solution; oral melatonin has no published hair-loss trial at all.

learn Minoxidil

An essential vasodilator with some anti-androgenic effects

learn Fluridil

a topical anti-androgen with less systemic involvement
