This narrative review attributes antiandrogenic properties to spironolactone, reporting its effectiveness in treating dermatological conditions like alopecia androgenica, acne, and hirsutism, though highlighting necessary attention to potential adverse effects and contraindications.

Dutasteride, fesoterodine, and finasteride help older patients with urinary issues.

This review found that antimalarial agents were more effective than steroids for Lichen planopilaris, while finasteride and dutasteride showed favorable impacts on frontal fibrosing alopecia, despite heterogeneous study quality.

This study concluded that a sequential regimen of prednisolone and cyclophosphamide, followed by low-dose prednisolone and azathioprine, achieved favorable results in most patients with diffuse proliferative and/or membranous lupus nephritis without significant toxicities.

This case report suggests that oral finasteride, used for benign prostatic hyperplasia, may be associated with intraoperative floppy-iris syndrome during cataract surgery.

In this review, spironolactone is highlighted for its emerging use in dermatology, particularly for treating androgen-mediated conditions like acne and hirsutism in susceptible females, though it requires careful monitoring for potential adverse effects.

In this study, researchers used the FAERS database to identify rare adverse events potentially linked to spironolactone, finding new safety signals such as a possible association with male endometriosis, suggesting further research is needed to understand these findings better.

This study concluded that alpha(1)-adrenoceptor antagonists are more effective than finasteride in the short term for reducing symptoms of lower urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Leuprolide may better manage cholesterol and blood pressure in PCOS than spironolactone.

This study observed that treatment with inositol, in various doses based on BMI, led to significant reductions in hair loss and symptoms of hyperandrogenism in patients with androgenetic alopecia.

This article discusses intraoperative floppy iris syndrome during cataract surgery and highlights the importance of awareness and preoperative documentation of its risk factors, emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach to management.

This report describes two renal transplant patients whose hair loss improved after switching from tacrolimus to cyclosporine, suggesting that cyclosporine might counteract steroid-induced alopecia.

This review update suggests that mycophenolate mofetil may increase complete disease remission in proliferative lupus nephritis compared to intravenous cyclophosphamide, but with low certainty of evidence.

This article notes the lack of physician-reported outcome studies supporting the efficacy of off-label spironolactone in treating female pattern hair loss, despite its common prescription alongside FDA-approved topical minoxidil.

This study concluded that monthly pulse IV cyclophosphamide therapy was effective in achieving complete or partial remission in 68.9% of Indian patients with severe lupus nephritis, though longer follow-up is needed.

This abstract discusses the FitSpresso weight loss supplement's potential benefits and mechanisms but provides no clinical research findings; it reports on its ingredients and consumer ratings instead.

This study found that leflunomide combined with prednisone showed good efficacy and tolerance in treating lupus nephritis where cyclophosphamide was ineffective or intolerable.

This study found that Forsythiaside A may protect against sepsis-induced acute kidney injury in mice by reducing inflammation and apoptosis through modulation of ER stress responses.
