This case report highlights a rare instance of minoxidil-induced pleuro-pericardial effusion with tamponade in a patient with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis, which improved following pericardiocentesis and discontinuation of the drug.

Some drugs can cause serious side effects, like hypoglycemia from mix-ups, skin reactions, or depression, and while penicillamine may help rheumatoid arthritis more than auranofin, it has more severe side effects.

This study found that letrozole, an aromatase inhibitor, reduced the incidence and severity of PTZ-induced kindling seizures in mice, potentially due to its effects on 17β-estradiol and neurosteroid synthesis.

Soymetide-4 from soy can prevent hair loss caused by a cancer drug in rats.

This study found that minoxidil prevents long-term serotonergic toxicity induced by MDMA in rats, primarily by opening mitochondrial KATP channels and involving Akt and MAP kinases in its neuroprotective mechanism.

In this study, researchers reported that both progestin-only injectable contraceptives, DMPA-IM and NET-EN, significantly decreased serum testosterone and SHBG levels among HIV-negative women in South Africa, yet this did not explain prior findings of no reduction in risky sexual behavior or sexual function.

In this study, the authors highlight the potential of intradermal microinjections of dutasteride as an adjunctive therapy for androgenetic alopecia, though they note that information on its effectiveness remains limited.

This study detected insomnia risk signals associated with various medications, primarily nervous system drugs, using the FDA's Adverse Event Reporting System data from 2004 to 2024.

This study reports that two oral hormonal agents, dimethandrolone undecanoate and 11β-methylnortestosterone dodecylcarbonate, may effectively suppress hormones to contraceptive levels in men with mild side effects, though longer-term trials are required to confirm their safety and efficacy.

This study developed and optimized a molecularly imprinted polymer-based electrochemical sensor, demonstrating its ability to detect minoxidil with high sensitivity and selectivity at concentrations as low as 0.3 nM, and successfully applied it for minoxidil measurement in various real sample matrices.

The new method can measure sleep-related hormones in hair effectively and could help track long-term sleep patterns.

This study found that finasteride significantly improved motor, EEG, and cellular changes in a rat model of thioacetamide-induced hepatic encephalopathy and prevented the development of hepatic coma.

This study found that dexamethasone may induce diabetes in albino rats and Annona muricata methanolic bark extract resulted in significantly reduced blood sugar levels in dexamethasone-induced diabetic rats.

AC-5216 reduces anxiety in mice through neurosteroids affecting GABAA receptors.

The researchers reported that metabolism of progesterone to 3α,5α-THP in the hippocampus is important for its antiseizure effects in ovariectomized rats.

This study indicated that administering letrozole to Swiss albino mice may have anticonvulsant effects against kainic acid-induced seizures by inhibiting testosterone aromatization to 17β-estradiol and increasing anticonvulsant metabolites in the hippocampus.

In this study, a potentiometric titration method was developed for determining minoxidil, achieving recoveries of 97.4% to 98.7%, and it showed agreement with a chromatographic procedure at a 90% confidence level.

This article compares cabergoline and bromocriptine for treating hyperprolactinemic amenorrhea and reports no specific findings.

This study observed that acute stress in rats increased neurosteroid levels linked to enhanced GABA(A) receptor function, raising seizure thresholds, while similar effects were seen in mice with deoxycorticosterone administration.

Minoxidil effectively lowers blood pressure and initially increases plasma renin activity without raising aldosterone levels.

This study synthesized and verified the structures of Setipiprant's major and minor metabolites, confirming their regio- and enantioselectivity from earlier proposals in a clinical study.

In this single-blind clinical trial, adding 1% topical cetirizine to 5% topical minoxidil for 16 weeks did not show improved hair growth outcomes in patients with androgenetic alopecia compared to minoxidil alone, although patient satisfaction was higher with the addition of cetirizine.

This study observed that MIRV improved gastrointestinal symptoms and other quality of life measures in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer compared to chemotherapy.

This study found that Minoxidil can interfere with hair drug analysis for cocaine by producing peaks that obscure the detection of cocaine and its metabolites in chromatograms.

This study suggests that extrasynaptic δGABA-A receptors may have a protective role in modulating the severity of catamenial-like seizures by influencing neurosteroid and benzodiazepine responses in mice.

This study found that hair from the vertex posterior is a reliable sampling region for detecting zolpidem intake, showing consistent drug concentration and peak position compared to other scalp regions.

Finasteride slows down motherly behavior in first-time pregnant rats.

Minoxidil can cause deadly skin reaction; monitor patients closely.

This study found that blocking the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis in male rats reduced baroreflex dysfunction and inflammation caused by endotoxemia, highlighting potential therapeutic benefits.

This study found that chronic exposure to and withdrawal of progesterone influenced the expression and function of GABA A receptors in rat hippocampal neurons through its metabolite 3α,5α‐THPROG.
