research Low-Dose Oral Minoxidil Initiation for Patients With Hair Loss
An international expert consensus statement was developed to guide the off-label use of low-dose oral minoxidil (LDOM) for hair loss, involving 43 dermatologists from 12 countries. Through a modified Delphi process, consensus was reached on 76 items, including diagnoses, dosing for adults and adolescents, contraindications, and monitoring. However, consensus was not achieved for pediatric use and titration protocols. The statement aims to assist clinical practice until more data are available, highlighting the need for further research on pediatric use, comparative efficacy with topical minoxidil, long-term safety, and other off-label minoxidil forms.
research Low-Dose Oral Minoxidil in Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: Series of 122 Patients
The study evaluated the effectiveness of low-dose oral minoxidil in treating frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) in 122 patients across centers in Brazil and Spain. Results showed that 45.1% of patients experienced subjective improvement in the frontotemporal hairline, with varying degrees of mild (34.4%), moderate (9.0%), and excellent (1.6%) improvement. Additionally, 57.4% saw improved hair density in the interparietal area, while 25.4% and 3.3% experienced eyebrow and eyelash growth, respectively. Adverse effects were reported in 33.6% of patients, with hypertrichosis being the most common at 23.8%. The study concluded that oral minoxidil is an effective additional therapy for FFA, enhancing hair and eyebrow growth and frontotemporal hairline density.
research Efficacy and Safety of Oral Minoxidil Versus Topical Solution in Androgenetic Alopecia: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials

research Comparison Between Topical Minoxidil 5% Alone Versus Combined With Dutasteride (Topical 0.02% Through Microneedling Or Oral 0.5 Mg) In Treatment Of Androgenetic Alopecia
This study compared the efficacy and safety of topical Minoxidil 5% alone versus combined with Dutasteride (either topical 0.02% through microneedling or oral 0.5 mg) in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in 30 patients (24 males, 6 females). Over 16 weeks, all groups showed significant improvement, with the combination treatments (groups B and C) yielding better results in hair density and width than Minoxidil alone (group A). Group C, using topical Dutasteride with microneedling, showed the highest improvement and fewer systemic side effects compared to oral Dutasteride. The study concluded that combining Minoxidil with topical Dutasteride via microneedling is a promising and effective treatment for AGA with minimal side effects.
