Abstract in brief

  • Minoxidil is FDA-approved for treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in men and women, and it works through multiple mechanisms including vasodilation, anti-inflammatory effects, promoting hair growth pathways, and possibly acting as an antiandrogen.
  • Approximately 14% of topical minoxidil is absorbed through the skin, where it is metabolized into its active form, minoxidil sulfate, by follicular sulfotransferase, with response rates varying based on enzyme activity.
  • The treatment generally shows peak hair growth around the first year, with similar efficacy between different formulations (foam and solution), and lower doses may still be effective, especially for female pattern hair loss; sublingual delivery might also be a safe option.

塗りミノよりミノタブのほうが発毛効果は高そうですね。 ただ副作用を考えると、塗りミノから使うのがいいのかなと思いますね。 レビュー論文「ミノキシジル5mg/日を6ヶ月間使用した結果、男性AGAにおいて外用薬（塗りミノ）2％および5％よりも有意に高い効果を示した」 https://t.co/al2KamV7ix https://t.co/sFaKrSl1zL

ミノキシジルの外用は1.4%の吸収率と言われてます。5%ミノキシジル1mlに含まれるミノキシジルは0.05gでさらに1.4%しか吸収されないとなると、安全容量と言われてる0.625mg-1.25mgより少ないので安全かと思います、、！ https://t.co/kJPzDVVbeQ https://t.co/bFm7q4L5cn https://t.co/EfqksuwqmC
