Summary
In order to successfully treat androgenetic alopecia (AGA), this study compares the efficacy of low-dose oral minoxidil dosages of 0.25 mg and 1 mg. It addresses a critical gap in current research, as few studies have examined the relationship between low dosage and outcomes like hair diameter, density, patient satisfaction, and adverse effects, including hypertrichosis. Previous research suggests that low dose of oral minoxidil is a safe and well-tolerated option for hair loss, but the optimal dose for maximizing benefits while minimizing side effects remains unclear. This study aims to determine which dose offers the best balance of efficacy and safety for AGA patients.
