Inclusion Criteria:

  • Being a Turkish citizen
  • Clinical diagnosis of AGA with Norwood-Hamilton Classification score of 3V or 4

  • Use of anti-androgenic therapies (e.g., spironolactone, flutamide, cyproterone acetate, cimetidine) within 12 weeks prior to the start of the study
  • Use of medications that potentially cause drug-induced hair loss (e.g., depotestosterone, haloperidol, methotrexate, methylprednisolone, prednisone, testosterone, divalproex sodium) within 12 weeks prior to the start of the study
