Abstract in brief

This pilot study explored the safety and effectiveness of a combination of low-dose oral minoxidil and spironolactone in treating women with pattern hair loss, showing that most women experienced reductions in hair loss severity and shedding over 12 months.
The study involved 100 women, with mild side effects like urticaria in some cases, but no serious blood test abnormalities such as hyperkalemia, suggesting the treatment was generally well-tolerated.
The results indicate that this combination therapy could be a promising treatment for female pattern hair loss, but further controlled studies are needed to confirm its efficacy and safety.]
