This study found that high doses of cloforex and chlorphentermine caused pulmonary lipid histiocytosis and toxic effects in rats, but did not induce pulmonary hypertension.

Metoprolol and propranolol may cause hair loss.

This study found that combining 4 mg doxazosin with 0.2 mg tamsulosin improved urinary symptoms with fewer vasodilatory side effects compared to a higher dose of doxazosin in hypertensive males with LUTS.

Alloxan diabetes, methylthiouracil, cortisone, and adrenaline affect how white mice hair follicles use glucose and cystine and their cell division.

In this study, both finasteride and hydroxychloroquine were found to be equally effective, safe, and well-tolerated first-line treatments for frontal fibrosing alopecia in female patients, with no significant differences in efficacy between the two therapies over six months.

This study found that finasteride reduced opioid self-administration in zebrafish and rats without affecting pain relief, suggesting steroidogenic pathways may offer new treatment avenues for opioid use disorder.

In this study, researchers found that retinoids might improve lupus nephritis resistant to conventional treatments, but the sample size was too small for significant results, and side effects were noted.

Minoxidil with propranolol and diuretics lowers blood pressure but causes fluid retention and hair growth.

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.
