Abstract in brief

  • The study compared the effectiveness of topical cetirizine 1% and minoxidil 5% for treating male pattern hair loss, finding both increased hair density after 16 weeks, with minoxidil showing a greater improvement.
  • Cetirizine works by influencing prostaglandins that regulate hair growth, specifically inhibiting prostaglandin D2 and promoting prostaglandin E2.
  • Both treatments were safe, with no significant adverse effects reported for cetirizine, making it a potentially effective option for male androgenetic alopecia.]

次は珍しく効果があったセチリジン。下記urlの論文でも効果があったとは書かれてるね。このセチリジンの錠剤を粉々に砕いて自作育毛液に混ぜて塗ってた。頭の痒みも減った感覚があって、脱毛にもある程度は効果があったな。今は使ってないけど。 https://t.co/Evy34qD2Er https://t.co/iWFzdyW5j2
