Abstract in brief

Topical minoxidil is effective for hair loss but often leads to poor patient compliance due to its twice-daily application and side effects like scalp irritation.
Recent studies suggest that low-dose oral minoxidil may serve as a safer and more convenient alternative to treat various hair loss conditions, with 17 studies involving 634 patients reviewed.
Although oral minoxidil shows promise, more extensive randomized studies are necessary to determine the best dosages and treatment protocols for optimal efficacy and safety.

@9256_bot 一方、FDAは認可していませんが、ご指摘通り経口minoxidilがAGAに有効という報告は（確定的ではないものの）あるようです。 https://t.co/9xgiYCyR4A なおminoxidil内服とfinasteride内服の直接比較試験はないようです。私も後者は処方経験がありますので勉強になりました。ありがとうございます
