Glossary Systematic Review

comprehensive analysis of all relevant research on a specific topic

A Systematic Review is a comprehensive and structured approach to analyzing all available research on a specific topic or question. It involves systematically searching for, appraising, and synthesizing evidence from multiple studies to provide a high-level summary of findings. This method minimizes bias and ensures that the conclusions drawn are based on the best available evidence.

learn sh-Polypeptide-7

Can sh-Polypeptide-7 be combined with other treatments like minoxidil or microneedling for better results? No published study tests sh-Polypeptide-7 alongside minoxidil or microneedling, or on its own for hair regrowth, so any added benefit is speculation. The combination that does have published support — a systematic review and randomised trials — is microneedling plus topical minoxidil.

learn Ketoconazole

Ketoconazole: Can I use it with minoxidil or finasteride? No published study has tested ketoconazole shampoo together with minoxidil and finasteride, and no interaction between them has been reported; the only direct evidence for a pairing is a ten-patient finasteride-plus-ketoconazole arm in a 2002 study, and a 2020 systematic review calls topical ketoconazole promising while asking for randomized trials.
