- 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 unblinded 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.
- How does topical Estradiol compare to oral Estradiol in treating alopecia? Topical estradiol delivers hormone to the scalp with less systemic exposure, but evidence is thin and it is still a hormone. It needs a doctor's supervision, and people with estrogen-sensitive cancers must not use it without medical approval.
