January 2022 in “Indian Dermatology Online Journal” Oral minoxidil (OM) is a promising treatment for patterned hair loss, offering a safe and effective alternative to topical minoxidil, especially for those with side effects or poor compliance with topical forms. Despite limited clinical trials, epidemiological data and recent studies, including a multicenter study of 1,404 patients, indicate that low-dose OM is well-tolerated and effective, with typical dosages lower for females (0.25–1.25 mg/day) than males (2.5–5 mg/day). OM has shown positive results in male-patterned and female-patterned hair loss and may improve long-term adherence due to its convenience and fewer side effects. Further research is needed to explore its efficacy in other alopecia types and its potential as a monotherapy or adjunctive treatment.
