Dexpanthenol may be a novel treatment for male androgenetic alopecia: Analysis of nine cases.

Dexpanthenol has an anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effect and a cellular repair capability. We present nine male cases who had marked improvement after receiving only systemic dexpanthenol treatment for androgenetic alopecia.
