Minoxidil, a potent vasodilator used orally in the treatment of hypertension, appears to have “dramatic” hair-growing properties when applied topically to some patients with male pattern baldness or alopecia areata, Dr. Vera Price said at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology.

Although the search for a treatment of male pattern baldness has been rivaled in duration and intensity only by that for the Holy Grail, Dr. Price strongly urged physicians to refrain from the temptation of using minoxidil on their bald patients until after Upjohn’s controlled clinical trials are completed within the next year. . . .
