Oral Antiandrogens for Female Hair Loss
Hi
I was wondering what your opinion is of this study? Thank you!Treatment of Female Pattern Hair Loss with Oral Antiandrogens
I referenced this article before — Treatments Available for Female Hair Loss
The conclusion of the authors suggest that there is merit in the use of antiandrogens, but the study is not statistically significant. Since my earlier reference 2 and a half years ago, our ability to separate women into two classes (those who are sensitive or not sensitive to antiandrogens) through the use of new genetic tests holds great promise for the future management of women’s hair loss. It is possible that in those women who had the best response to antiandrogens are women who have a high sensitivity to the antiandrogens as determined by genetic test (see HairDX). The study should be repeated with the genetic groups separated.
