Minoxidil
Minoxidil (brand name Rogaine) is a FDA-approved direct stimulator of hair growth. It works in 88-90% of individuals with androgenetic alopecia to slow down the progression of hair loss, rethicken hairs that have thinned, and regrow hairs that have not been permanently lost. We recommend using the 5% foam once daily for both men and women. The solution is just as effective; however, it contains a potential irritant and some complain that it is too greasy.

Finasteride
Finasteride (brand name Propecia) is FDA-approved in men alone. However, it may be indicated in post-menopausal women with androgenetic alopecia. It blocks the effects of dihydrotestosterone on the hair follicle. It works in up to 92% of users to stop the progression of hair loss and can also rethicken and regrow hair. 1-2% of men may experience sexual side effects. Requires prescription.
Spironolactone
Spironolactone is a a diuretic that functions as an anti-androgen medication in women. At high doses, it can block hormonal influences on hair loss in women. It is not typically used as monotherapy for hair loss, but usually as an adjunct to minoxidil. At these higher doses, women can experience irregular periods, muscle cramps, increased potassium, and lightheadedness. Therefore, we typically start at lower doses to gauge tolerability. Requires prescription.
