The treatment of androgenic alopecia has evolved significantly over the years, with various treatments being evaluated for their efficacy. Minoxidil, a commonly used topical medication, has been studied in combination with other treatments to determine its relative efficacy.
A network meta-analysis based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted to evaluate the relative efficacy of minoxidil in combination with other treatments for androgenic alopecia. The analysis included 13 RCTs that compared minoxidil with other treatments, such as finasteride, dutasteride, and spironolactone.
The results showed that minoxidil in combination with finasteride was the most effective treatment for androgenic alopecia, followed by minoxidil plus dutasteride. The combination of minoxidil and spironolactone also showed promise, but its efficacy was lower compared to the other two combinations.

Another analysis evaluated the efficacy of minoxidil in combination with hair transplantation. The results suggested that minoxidil increased the density of transplanted hairs and improved the overall hair growth rate.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a popular hair transplantation technique that has gained widespread acceptance due to its natural-looking results and minimal recovery time. While FUE is not directly related to the efficacy of minoxidil, it can be used in conjunction with topical treatments like minoxidil to enhance hair growth.
The findings of this network meta-analysis provide valuable insights into the relative efficacy of minoxidil in combination with other treatments for androgenic alopecia. The results suggest that minoxidil in combination with finasteride or dutasteride may be effective treatment options for patients with moderate to severe hair loss. However, more research is needed to confirm these findings and determine the optimal treatment strategy for each patient.
