December 2022 in “Archives of Dermatological Research” This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study compared the efficacy and safety of topical cetirizine with minoxidil versus topical placebo with minoxidil in 66 female patients with androgenetic alopecia over 24 weeks. The cetirizine group showed significant improvements in hair density, hair shaft thickness, and the average number of hairs per follicular unit, particularly in the vertex area, compared to the placebo group. Patients in the cetirizine group also reported better self-assessment scores. Side effects were similar between the two groups, indicating that cetirizine is a safe and effective addition to minoxidil for treating female androgenetic alopecia.

December 2021 in “Pharmaceutics” The study developed and optimized a nanoemulsion containing garlic oil (GO), apple cider vinegar (APCV), and minoxidil (MX) to treat alopecia areata. The optimal formulation, with 0.180% GO, 0.500% Smix, and 0.320% APCV, had a droplet size of 110 nm, MX steady-state flux (Jss) of 3 μg/cm²/h, and a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 0.275 μg/mL against Propionibacterium acnes. The nanoemulsion showed enhanced stability and significantly improved MX skin permeation (2.12-fold increase) compared to aqueous dispersion, following the Korsmeyer–Peppas model of super case II transport. These results suggest that the MX-GO-APCV nanoemulsion could effectively enhance MX delivery and its therapeutic effects for alopecia areata.
