53 citations
,
February 2020 in “Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy” This review discusses pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatments for androgenetic alopecia, noting that current medications like finasteride and minoxidil can slow hair loss but only partially restore hair growth, with early treatment offering better outcomes.
14 citations
,
January 2020 in “International Journal of Biological Sciences” This study found that ranitidine and finasteride may have cardiovascular and renal protective effects in mice by inhibiting TMAO synthesis and improving gut microbiota composition.
1 citations
,
September 2020 in “Actas Dermo-Sifiliográficas” This article discusses the underutilization of spironolactone in dermatology for conditions like acne, highlighting its potential benefits and good safety profile, but reports no new clinical findings.
