December 2021 in “Cureus” This study evaluated the cost-effectiveness of minoxidil monotherapy, PRP monotherapy, and combined minoxidil+PRP therapy for treating androgenetic alopecia in men over a 35-year period. Minoxidil monotherapy was found to be the most cost-effective treatment at a willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold of $50,000, with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of $52,036/QALY for minoxidil+PRP and $439,303/QALY for PRP. At a WTP threshold of $100,000, combining minoxidil with PRP became cost-effective. The study concluded that minoxidil 5% topical twice-daily monotherapy is a cost-effective treatment for men with AGA Hamilton-Norwood stages I-V at a $50,000 WTP threshold, while minoxidil+PRP is cost-effective at a $100,000 threshold.
August 2021 in “Annales pharmaceutiques françaises” The study used computer simulations with GastroPlus® software to evaluate the absorption of finasteride for treating androgenetic alopecia via oral and topical routes. The simulations showed that topical finasteride at 0.25% concentration had a good correlation with literature data (R2=0.908) and low systemic absorption (Cmax=0.04325 ng/mL), suggesting it as a potential treatment with fewer systemic side effects compared to oral administration. Simulations for 0.1% and 1% concentrations also indicated low plasma levels, supporting the efficacy and safety of topical finasteride for hair loss treatment.
