J Dermatol. 2009;36:437
Minoxidil for the treatment of male pattern hair loss
Tsuboi R, et al
Minoxidil induces hair regrowth in pattern hair loss by inducing follicles to transition from the early to the late anagen phase. ..... The objective of this trial was to verify the efficacy of minoxidil in a double-blind controlled study with male, pattern hair loss patients as the subjects. ..... The incidence of adverse events was 8.7% the 5% minoxidil group and 5.3% in the 1% minoxidil group, with no significant difference between the groups. This confirms the superiority of 5% topical minoxidil to 1% topical minoxidil in treatment of androgenetic alopecia.
