Diagnosis was clinical, with a characteristic hair thinning pattern. Topical minoxidil was effective in 60% of women but required continuous use. An Australian study of 100 women found that a daily combination of oral minoxidil 0.25 mg and spironolactone 25 mg reduced hair loss and shedding, with some side effects. Spironolactone and cyproterone acetate were effective in promoting hair regrowth, though cyproterone acetate had significant side effects. 5-alpha reductase inhibitors were less effective.
