Experts Endorse Off-Label Minoxidil Pills for Hair Loss Treatment
A group of international dermatology experts has endorsed the use of low-dose oral minoxidil as an alternative treatment for hair loss, potentially expanding its use beyond the traditional topical form. While oral minoxidil is currently an off-label treatment, it may offer advantages such as avoiding scalp irritation and being more cost-effective. However, it carries potential heart risks, and patients with certain heart conditions should avoid it. The consensus aims to provide guidance for dermatologists to confidently prescribe this emerging treatment.
