Published in Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy
Key Findings
Review of androgenetic alopecia therapy concludes 5-alpha reductase inhibitors and minoxidil remain the only consistently effective options, with botanical inhibitors lacking robust trials.
Conclusions
Evidence for supplement-based 5AR inhibition is far weaker than for pharmaceutical inhibitors.
Limitations
Narrative expert review, no pooled quantitative synthesis.
Outcomes Measured
Current available medical treatments like finasteride and minoxidil remain the mainstay of pharmacologic treatment of androgenetic alopecia.
