Subject: Drug utilization pattern in alopecia
The appearance of hair plays an important role in people’s overall physical appearance and self-
perception. The discovery of pharmacological targets and the development of safe and effective
drugs also indicate strategies of the drug industry for maintenance of healthy and beautiful hair.
The treatment of hair loss diseases is sometimes difficult because of insufficient efficacy and
limited options. However, recent advances in understanding of the pathophysiology and
development of new remedies have improved the treatment of refractory hair loss conditions.
Topical minoxidil and Finasteride are the mainstays of therapy in most of hair loss disorders. For
women, topical minoxidil is the only FDA approved therapy for female pattern hair loss but this
drug comes with side effect like dryness, frizziness and flaking of hairs which are cosmetically not
appealing.
