ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides compositions and methods for promoting hair growth. The methods generally comprise the administration to a patient of a therapeutically effective amount of the compositions of the present invention which employ a vasodilator in combination with estradiol and/or a 5-.alpha.-reductase inhibitor in a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle. The compositions and methods of the present invention are suitable for the treatment of baldness, in particular, male pattern baldness.
