Overview

Literature review evaluates minoxidil's effectiveness in hair growth, suggesting advances enhance outcomes.

Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of minoxidil across various formulations and how genetics affect responses.
  • Literature review of clinical trials, observational studies, and systematic reviews (2000-2024).
  • Databases searched include PubMed, ScienceDirect, and dermatology journals.
  • Included studies on topical, oral, injectable, and combination minoxidil therapies.
  • Topical minoxidil (5%) is the most effective for men, while 2% is effective for women.
  • Genetic marker SULT1A1 predicts response to minoxidil treatments.
  • Long-term use shows sustained regrowth but may plateau after 12-18 months.
