This review discusses the topical use of systemic drugs for cutaneous disorders and reports a lack of strong evidence from randomized controlled trials, highlighting the need for larger comparative effectiveness studies.

This study details a method for assessing the risk of modifications to pharmaceutical frame formulations by assigning a risk priority number using Failure Modes Effects Analysis, which estimates the severity and probability of changes impacting the formulation.

This review discusses the current role and challenges of compounding in dermatology without presenting new research results; the authors suggest its resurgence in practice despite pharmaceutical alternatives.

This study reported that minoxidil lotions produced using a propylene glycol-free base, Aloplus Total, demonstrated high minoxidil solubility and maintained chemical and physical stability for over 180 days, suggesting suitability for enhanced topical treatments of androgenetic alopecia.

This study developed and tested a finasteride suspension that retains over 94.3% of its initial concentration for up to 90 days at room temperature, finding no airborne finasteride exposure during formulation handling.

This study reports that over 70% of responding dermatologists prescribed topical minoxidil, but a small percentage accounted for most prescriptions and few reported complications beyond local irritation.

This study developed and evaluated topical formulations containing 5% minoxidil and 1% rosemary essential oil for androgenetic alopecia treatment, finding them physically and chemically suitable, but noted that further stability tests and clinical trials are needed to confirm therapeutic efficacy and safety.

Minoxidil in breast milk may harm nursing infants.

This review discusses available treatments for androgenetic alopecia in men, like finasteride and 5% minoxidil, and notes that hair growth results are unpredictable and often driven by industry-sponsored studies.

In this study, women with chronic telogen effluvium experienced reduced hair shedding after being treated with once daily oral minoxidil for 12 months, but facial hypertrichosis was a reported side effect, suggesting the need for further placebo-controlled research.

This case study reported an improvement in lower limb edema for a patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus after starting dulaglutide treatment, suggesting a potential role of the drug in sodium retention disorders.

In this study, researchers found that a propylene glycol-free and alcohol-reduced topical foam containing minoxidil and finasteride remained chemically, physically, and microbially stable for 180 days when stored properly at room temperature in light-resistant containers.

In this study, researchers assessed the physical-chemical and microbiological stability of various pharmaceutical ingredients in the vehicle TrichoSolTM, finding differing beyond-use dates for the compounds, such as 180 days for cetirizine hydrochloride, but only 90 days for progesterone at higher concentrations.

In this study, researchers evaluated the stability and color changes of compounded minoxidil formulations used for alopecia, finding that while the formulations remained chemically and microbiologically stable for up to 380 days, significant color changes were observed, which likely do not affect the product's effectiveness.

This article discusses the use of Espumil foam base in pharmacies for preparing dermatological medications and reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a 24-year-old woman with androgenetic alopecia who developed sensitivity to topical minoxidil and later to saw palmetto after using a minoxidil and retinoic acid preparation.

This report describes the use of compounded topical preparations to treat two severe psoriasis patients and calls for further studies on their regulation, protocol, and stability evaluation.

This study identified ten key magistral dermatological formulations, such as personalized trichological preparations and Kligman’s formula, which fill critical gaps unmet by standardized products, particularly in cases like pediatric scabies or autoimmune mucosal diseases, illustrating the role of compounding in precision medicine.

This study concluded that the pharmacy in Venâncio Aires complies with Good Manufacturing Practices, as significant microbial growth was only found in Paracetamol samples, while other materials showed no or insignificant growth.

This study explored the development of a self nanoemulsifying drug delivery system to enhance the solubility and oral bioavailability of exemestane HCl for breast cancer therapy.

This study reported that once-daily treatment with oral minoxidil and spironolactone for 12 months reduced hair loss severity and hair shedding in women with pattern hair loss, with generally mild side effects, though results came from an uncontrolled, observational pilot study.

This study reported that meloxicam-loaded spanlastics, created using the ethanol injection method, demonstrated potential as a drug delivery system with sustained release and effective entrapment efficiency.

Treatments for melanin disorders exist, but more effective options needed.

In this study, 68% of patients treated with finasteride showed improved hair growth in male androgenetic alopecia, compared to 38% with Serenoa repens, indicating finasteride's superior efficacy.

This review discusses the pharmacological properties and analytical methods for determining fluconazole but reports no new experimental findings.

This review discusses the challenges in diagnosing tinea capitis and highlights the need for laboratory confirmation and systemic treatment due to the limited effectiveness of topical antifungals; no new clinical results are presented.

Minoxidil effectively treats hair loss, works better for women, and requires consistent use.

This review examines the recent progress in using bioactive molecules for skin regenerative medicine and reports no new clinical results; the authors suggest this method could become a promising strategy for in situ skin regeneration.
