Minoxidil is a wonderful drug regularly prescribed by doctors to treat hair loss. But it works only in half of the users. And major problem is that one should wait for a minimum of six months to see the results. Minoxidil response varies from person to person, and it is frustrating for minoxidil non-responders as they wait for such a long time by spending more money and wasting time.
Minoxidil is in an inactive form and it will be activated and converted into minoxidil sulfate by sulphotransferase. In minoxidil responders, more sulphotransferase is present in the scalp and in non-responders very minimal amount of sulfotransferase is present which reduces the efficacy of minoxidil for hair loss treatment. Detecting the sulphotransferase enzyme levels provide information about minoxidil response for hair loss treatment.
A new start-up in India TrichoGene launched MRT-Minoxidil Response Test to detect the efficacy of minoxidil in as low as 7 -14 days with the simple buccal swab. TrichoGene was founded by Dr M Sai Babu and Mohd. Rizwan Younus aims to provide Minoxidil Response Test for a very affordable price and make it publicly available.
