Patterned hair loss is a common type of non-scarring alopecia, characterized by miniaturization of hair follicles. The etiology of female pattern hair loss (FPHL) is not clearly linked to androgens or other hormones thereby making it a challenging condition to treat. Various treatment modalities, like minoxidil (topical or oral), spironolactone, finasteride, have been tried alone or in combination with variable results. Combination therapy is superior to the monotherapy, since these multiple treatment modalities act by targeting different pathogenetic pathways, making the treatment aggressive and more effective.
