A recent survey conducted in the Washington area found that less than half of pharmacies had a 30-day supply of oral minoxidil, a medication used for both hair loss and hypertension. This shortage is causing interruptions in treatment for patients, potentially leading to a loss of hair gain. The survey's lead author, Dr. Adam Friedman, suggests the need for a system that alerts healthcare providers about medication shortages so that they can prepare patients accordingly.
