research USO DO MINOXIDIL PARA TRATAMENTO DE ALOPECIA ANDROGENÉTICA
The document reviews the use of minoxidil for treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA), focusing on its efficacy and safety in women. It analyzes 8 articles and finds that low-dose oral minoxidil (0.25 to 5 mg/day) is effective and generally well-tolerated, with mild side effects like hypertrichosis. Oral minoxidil may be as effective as topical solutions, offering a convenient alternative for those who do not respond well to topical treatments. A study showed that 70% of women with AGA improved with 1 mg oral minoxidil compared to 46% with 5% topical minoxidil. Despite not being FDA-approved, oral minoxidil shows promise, but further studies are needed to determine the optimal dosage and long-term safety.
