💡 Jawaban singkat
Grades are bound to data. Affiliates never move a grade.
AAD/NHS-style reading: grades are bound to data. Affiliates never move a grade.

4. See a clinician now
Circular patches, red scale/pustules/pain, a child, or loss right after a new drug — stop self-triage.
5. FDA vs off-label vs regional
Topical minoxidil and finasteride 1 mg (men) are FDA-approved for AGA. Dutasteride is approved for AGA in Korea/Japan and off-label in US/EU. Off-label is never shown as “FDA-approved”.
6. Pregnancy · teratogenicity
Finasteride and dutasteride are teratogenic. Anyone who may be pregnant must not handle broken tablets. This app does not prescribe.
7. Minoxidil vs finasteride
| Minoxidil | Finasteride | |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Vasodilator / anagen (not anti-DHT) | Type-II 5α-reductase inhibitor |
| Time | 4–12 mo | 4–12 mo |
| Label | Topical FDA AGA | Men 1 mg FDA |
8. 60-second plain language
~50–100 hairs/day can be normal. Patterned loss suggests AGA; sudden diffuse loss suggests telogen effluvium. Estimate, not a diagnosis.
9. Commercial disclosure
Ads and affiliates are labelled. A link never raises A/B/C/D. Maintenance is continued use, not a product.
10. Care pathway
Symptom → red-flag gate → stage → evidence ladder → clinic questions. Do not skip the gate.
