    TLDR Farmácias de manipulação precisam melhorar o controle de qualidade do Minoxidil.
    The study assessed the quality of 5% Minoxidil solutions for alopecia treatment by analyzing four samples—three compounded in pharmacies and one industrialized—using physical-chemical tests like UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Only one compounded sample met the Brazilian Pharmacopoeia's standards, indicating potential issues with weighing or raw material quality in the others. The study concludes that stricter quality control in compounding pharmacies is essential to ensure the therapeutic efficacy of Minoxidil formulations.
