learn Cetirizine

Is topical cetirizine effective for androgenetic alopecia in women? Topical cetirizine is not an approved product and its use for female-pattern hair loss is off-label. The evidence is one small pilot study in mixed-sex patients and one randomized trial in 66 women where cetirizine was added to minoxidil; it is unproven on its own.

learn Valproic acid

How is valproic acid being explored differently in topical hair products compared to its traditional oral medical use? Topical valproic acid is being studied for local effects on the hair follicle rather than the whole-body effects of the oral drug. The human evidence is one small randomized 24-week trial of an 8.3% spray; no topical valproate product is approved for hair loss.

learn Bicalutamide

Is topical bicalutamide a safer alternative to finasteride? There is no published human trial of topical bicalutamide for hair loss, and no licensed topical product exists, so it cannot be called safer than finasteride — or shown to work at all. Oral finasteride has decades of trial data with a documented side-effect profile, and topical finasteride has a phase III trial behind it.

learn Rapamycin

Does topical rapamycin actually help reactivate dormant hair follicles? No study in living people has shown that topical rapamycin reactivates hair follicles; the evidence is from mice and cultured follicles.

learn Vitamin D

Are topical Vitamin D treatments useful for alopecia? Small, short trials suggest topical vitamin D analogues such as calcipotriol may help some people with mild patchy alopecia areata. There is no trial evidence that they help pattern hair loss.
