This case report identified a possible adverse effect of low-dose oral minoxidil for female pattern hair loss, as a 74-year-old woman developed significant dry mouth that resolved after stopping the medication and recurred upon rechallenge, suggesting a causal link.

This article discusses the rising use of low-dose oral minoxidil for androgenetic alopecia and mentions common side effects like hypertrichosis, but provides no new clinical findings.

This study demonstrates that bioengineered salivary gland transplants can fully regenerate gland function, producing saliva and restoring normal swallowing in salivary gland-defective mice, offering potential for xerostomia treatment.

This study found that radiation-induced salivary gland dysfunction in mice involves microvascular damage mediated by ceramide and reactive oxygen species, suggesting ROS scavengers could protect salivary function during radiotherapy for head and neck cancer.

This study found that low-dose radioactive iodine therapy for hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer produced short-term adverse effects like loss of taste, xerostomia, and hair loss, which were self-limiting.
