Intramuscular triamcinolone and pulse therapy with oral predonine are effective for alopecia areata with manageable side effects, but better relapse prevention is needed.

In this study, the authors reported that oral dutasteride at 0.5 mg/day showed a probable greater efficacy in treating male androgenetic alopecia compared to finasteride and minoxidil, but it may cause sexual dysfunction and neuropsychiatric side effects.

This study found that in patients with androgenetic alopecia, microneedling therapy led to significantly higher treatment adherence compared to medication, with improved adherence linked to factors like age, education, income, reduced side effects, and enhanced treatment efficacy.

This systematic review and meta-analysis found that mood stabilizers used for bipolar disorder, such as lithium, valproate, carbamazepine, and lamotrigine, resulted in varying prevalence of dermatologic side effects, with lamotrigine showing the highest rash incidence, while severe reactions were rare.

This study developed a computational method using side-effect data from social media to identify potential new drug indications, showing that it successfully recovered known and trial indications.

This review examines how fibroblasts contribute to regeneration in various organs and explores the potential of reverting adult fibroblasts to a fetal-like state for regenerative therapies, but reports no new empirical findings.

Minoxidil lowers blood pressure more effectively but has more side effects, so try hydralazine first.

In this study, intralesional triamcinolone acetonide combined with 5-fluorouracil was more effective for treating keloids, showing a good to excellent response in 95% of cases and fewer side effects, compared to triamcinolone acetonide alone, which achieved a 70% response rate.

This study found that spironolactone was significantly more effective than finasteride in reducing hirsutism scores over 9 months, despite more side effects occurring in the spironolactone group.

This study found that topical pimecrolimus is as effective as clobetasol propionate for treating alopecia areata, with better tolerability in terms of side effects.

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.

Both treatments help with hair regrowth in alopecia areata, but azathioprine has milder side effects than betamethasone.

In this study, researchers at Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College are comparing the effectiveness and side effects of Adapalene gel (0.1%) and Tazarotene gel (0.05%) in acne treatment among patients aged 12-35, with assessments every 4, 8, and 12 weeks. Results are not reported yet.

This study found that N-acetylcysteine was as effective as metformin in improving insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome parameters in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, with fewer side effects.

This systematic review concluded that dutasteride was more effective than finasteride in increasing hair count for treating androgenetic alopecia in both males and females, with comparable side effects.

This study found that flutamide was more effective than spironolactone in reducing symptoms of hirsutism and related conditions in premenopausal women, with fewer discontinuations due to side effects.

This study found that combining a GnRH agonist with a low-dose oral contraceptive was more effective in treating hirsutism than either agent alone and prevented hypoestrogenic side effects.

This study found that the combination of spironolactone and finasteride significantly improved hirsutism scores more than spironolactone alone in women, with similar side-effect profiles between treatments.

This review found that tea tree oil, especially terpinen-4-ol, may be the most effective treatment for Demodex-related diseases, but more research is needed to improve treatment efficacy and reduce side effects.

This study found that, among patients with NSCLC after EGFR-TKI failure, pemetrexed is as effective as docetaxel but has fewer side effects, suggesting it may be a suitable salvage chemotherapy option.

In this study, a combination of spironolactone and finasteride was found to significantly improve hirsutism scores without increasing side effects compared to spironolactone alone.

In this study, both methotrexate gel and betamethasone lotion were found to be effective and safe treatments for localized alopecia areata, with similar overall response rates. However, methotrexate gel had a higher incidence of local side effects, such as irritant dermatitis and itching.

The study found that both mometasone and calcipotriol ointments effectively reduced alopecia severity in localized alopecia areata, with calcipotriol having fewer side effects, while tacrolimus showed no significant effect.

In this study, among 30 patients with androgenetic alopecia, topical Minoxidil was effective alone or in combination with either oral or microneedling-applied Dutasteride, with the microneedling approach offering promising results and fewer side effects compared to oral Dutasteride.

This study found that applying 2% topical minoxidil resulted in a greater nail growth rate compared to 5% minoxidil and placebo over eight weeks, with no observed side effects, suggesting 2% is an effective concentration for accelerating nail growth.
