April 2026 in “Al-Mustaqbal Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Sciences” This study compared the effects of nifedipine and minoxidil on hair growth using a mouse model. Fifteen female albino mice were divided into three groups: an untreated control group, a group treated with 2% minoxidil solution, and a group treated with 0.3% nifedipine gel. Over 21 days, hair growth was measured, and results showed that both treatments increased hair growth compared to the control. Notably, the nifedipine-treated group exhibited significantly longer hair than the minoxidil group on days 14 and 21, suggesting that nifedipine cream at 0.3% concentration has a superior hair growth-promoting effect.
