PubMed 33865080 ↗Conclusion: We found 24 eligible trials-where the relative efficacy of eight conventional monotherapies and seven alternative (nonconventional, over-the-counter) products was determined. The current NMA study confirms the efficacy of conventional monotherapies such as oral dutasteride, topical/oral minoxidil, and oral/topical finasteride for male AGA. We have provided guidance regarding the relative efficacy of some alternative (nonconventional, over-the-counter) agents (e.g., melatonin (topical) and rosemary oil (topical)) compared to conventional treatments.
