Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is characterized by a non-scarring progressive miniaturization of the hair follicle in predisposed men and women with a pattern distribution. Although AGA is a very prevalent condition, approved therapeutic options are limited. Objectives: This work aims to evaluate the role of topical minoxidil in treatment of androgenetic alopecia. Methods: The study was conducted on 20 patients with androgenetic alopecia. The age of patients ranged from 18 to 45 years. Results: Clinical improvement in most of cases which was in the form of increase in hair growth and density within affected areas. It started at about 3 months and completed by 12 months of treatment. Conclusion: minoxidil is a good alternative for treating AGA in males and females.
