At week six, 62.2% (148\/238) reported positive changes in their hair appearance, and 44.1% (105\/238) reported an improvement of self\u2010esteem. Treatment\u2010related adverse events were reported in 11.8% (28\/238). Full treatment adherence was observed in 74.4% (177\/238). Comparing the topical treatment group to those receiving oral finasteride, lower treatment adherence was reported, along with higher rates of local adverse events; no difference was found in the incidence of sexual adverse events.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Based on patient\u2010reported outcomes, topical finasteride\/minoxidil seems to be effective and well tolerated, but not superior to oral finasteride.
