Australian dermatologists' prescribing behaviours for female androgenetic alopecia.

Female androgenetic alopecia (FAGA) affects approximately half of women during their lifetime and can have significant psychological impact. Despite its prevalence, treatment options have traditionally been limited. In this study, we examined the current prescribing patterns of Australian dermatologists for FAGA (n = 54), including the use of spironolactone, systemic minoxidil, topical minoxidil and combination treatments.
