This study observed early cardiac effects in young minipigs following high-dose doxorubicin chemotherapy, with a decrease in heart function and changes in cardiac MRI measurements compared to controls.

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.

In this study, researchers identified two de novo germline missense mutations in the hair keratins hHb1 and hHb6 in patients with monilethrix whose parents were not clinically affected.

Minoxidil can cause heart muscle damage in dogs.

In this study, women with female pattern hair loss using low-dose oral minoxidil reported significant improvements in hair loss severity and quality of life, with most experiencing mild or moderate unwanted hair growth but continuing treatment regardless.

This study concluded that minoxidil combined with a diuretic may effectively reduce blood pressure in moderately hypertensive male patients with minimal side effects.

This study reported that low dose oral minoxidil may help treat persistent chemotherapy-induced alopecia, based on a retrospective case series involving 15 patients across multiple centers.

This study found that Polygoni multiflori Radix water extracts accelerated hair regrowth and hair follicle development in mice, showing a safer profile compared to minoxidil.

In this 48-week trial, 5% topical minoxidil was more effective than both 2% minoxidil and placebo in promoting hair growth in women with female pattern hair loss, with notable improvements in nonvellus hair count and hair growth assessments.

This study found that combining low-level light therapy with topical minoxidil 5% may lead to better hair regrowth and patient satisfaction in treating female pattern hair loss compared to using each treatment alone.

This case report describes an eight-year-old Kashmiri boy diagnosed with monilethrix, a rare genetic hair disorder, characterized by a beaded appearance and fragility of the hair shaft.

This study found that nanoparticles containing minoxidil and betamethasone improved drug delivery to hair follicles, with lipidic nanoparticles significantly enhancing minoxidil and betamethasone penetration compared to control, making them a promising option for alopecia areata treatment with reduced side effects.

Minoxidil sulfate, delivered through iontophoresis, can be used to treat hair loss.

This review highlights recent advancements in microneedle technology, noting its ability to enhance transdermal drug delivery, biosensing, cancer treatment, and skin disease repair, while emphasizing its potential for improving patient compliance and reducing side effects.

A woman successfully sued for not being told about a medication's side effects, emphasizing doctors' duty to inform patients.

This study validated an HPLC-UV method to detect minoxidil in cosmetic products and found that 2 out of 9 analyzed products contained minoxidil, despite international regulations banning its inclusion due to potential systemic absorption.

This study found that finite element analysis-guided design improved bubble microneedles' controlled tip separation and insertion strength, supporting effective transdermal and sublingual drug delivery.

This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of a cinchonine nanostructured lipid carrier serum for hair growth in mouse models, finding that it significantly increased hair length and enhanced follicle penetration compared to controls, with no notable irritation observed.

In this study, researchers developed an electrochemical method using gold nanostructures on a glassy carbon electrode to detect minoxidil levels in hair lotions, and found it effectively quantified minoxidil in commercial products, revealing discrepancies in their labeled versus actual concentrations.

In this case report, an 81-year-old male with chronic kidney disease developed cardiac tamponade while on minoxidil for hypertension, highlighting the rare but serious risk of pericardial effusion from this medication and emphasizing the need for vigilant monitoring, especially in vulnerable patients.

Combining oral minoxidil and bicalutamide may help improve hair growth in adolescent girls.

This review discusses the potential of microneedle arrays for drug delivery and in the cosmetic market, but reports no new clinical results; factors for commercial therapeutic use are explored.

This randomized clinical trial found that both topical ethinylestradiol 0.01% combined with minoxidil 2% and minoxidil 2% alone were similarly effective in enhancing hair growth for female pattern hair loss, though minoxidil alone was better tolerated with fewer side effects over 24 weeks.

In this self-controlled comparative study of 16 women with Female Pattern Hair Loss, MMP® with Minoxidil showed a better response in the parietal-vertex regions in less advanced cases compared to standard Minoxidil treatment, though overall effectiveness was similar.

Minoxidil slows fibroblast growth and collagen production, potentially treating keloids, hypertrophic scars, and connective tissue disorders.
