BACKGROUND: The utilization of low-dose oral minoxidil (LDOM) has emerged as a relatively new treatment option for hair loss, gaining recognition among dermatologists worldwide.
OBJECTIVE: To assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice patterns among dermatologists in Saudi Arabia regarding the use of LDOM in the management of hair loss.
METHODS: An online survey, which was distributed to dermatologists practicing in Saudi Arabia through email and mobile messages. Both univariate and bivariate analyses were performed to investigate the factors that may be associated with enhanced knowledge and practice patterns concerning the utilization of LDOM for the management of hair loss.
RESULTS: A total of 84 dermatologists was included in this study, with 50 (60%) being male. It was found that 83 (99%) of the participants identified patterned hair loss as the most common indication for LDOM usage. Additionally, 77 (92%) recognized hypertrichosis as a well-known side effect. 48 (82%) of the dermatologists had never prescribed LDOM due to its unavailability in local pharmacies.
CONCLUSION: The usage of LDOM for hair disorders is increasing. Nonetheless, many dermatologists abstain from prescribing this medication due to its limited availability in local pharmacies.
