Abstract in brief

  • The article compares the effectiveness of Minoxidil Sulfate and Minoxidil Base in treating androgenetic alopecia, highlighting differences in how each form promotes hair growth.
  • It suggests that Minoxidil Sulfate, the active form of the drug, may have a more potent effect on hair regrowth than Minoxidil Base, but more research is needed to confirm this.
  • The discussion raises questions about whether using the sulfate form directly could enhance treatment outcomes or if it poses any additional risks, making it a "friend or foe" in therapy.]
