Evidence and sources

What the evidence supports, and where it stops.

Hair-loss treatment depends on the type of hair loss. The evidence differs for each medicine and form.

What it supports

  • Dermatologists use minoxidil and finasteride to treat pattern hair loss.
  • Finding the type first matters: shedding after a trigger often settles on its own.
  • Dated photos in the same light show change better than the mirror.

Where it stops

  • Compounded combinations are not FDA-approved.
  • Oral minoxidil and dutasteride for hair loss are off-label uses.
  • No treatment can promise regrowth, and results vary from person to person.

Safety, in plain words

Important safety information.

Not for you if

Needs a careful review first

  • Liver disease
  • Prostate testing: finasteride and dutasteride lower PSA results

Possible side effects

  • Scalp irritation with a topical solution
  • Lower libido or erection changes with finasteride or dutasteride
  • Unwanted hair growth, dizziness or swelling with oral minoxidil
