Abstract
Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) significantly impacts patients' psychological well-being, and treatment options have historically been limited. However, the advent of low-dose oral minoxidil (LDOM) has revolutionized AGA management. This study compares the treatment response and safety of LDOM in patients with AGA alone versus those with AGA unmasked by telogen effluvium. Our findings indicate that LDOM is effective and safe for both groups, showing comparable efficacy and safety profiles. These results support the use of LDOM as a reliable treatment option for AGA, potentially improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
