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.
