      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Triple blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Patients in whom the inclusion criteria apply are unlikely and easy to enter the study and the treatment is assigned to the two groups randomly with the help of online randomization. The first group of patients treated with topical minoxidil alone and the other group of patients receiving a combination of minoxidil and biotin.
How to blind: Drugs in the same boxes with the same volume are given to a nurse outside the group and are coded in A and B, and the patient and the evaluating physician are unaware of the type of codes.
The data is analyzed in the form of coding, so the analyst is unaware of their allocation, Blinding description: The medicines are given to an out-of-group nurse in the same boxes with the same volume and are coded in A and B forms, and the patient and the evaluating physician are unaware of the type of codes.
The data is analyzed in the form of coding, so the analyst is unaware of their allocation.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: The combination of minoxidil and biotin in a cc twice a day, due to the fact that minoxidil is dissolved in an alcoholic solvent and biotin in an aqueous solvent, to make a solvent system of 60% alcohol, 10% propylene glycol, 1% lactic acid and approximately 30% water is used. Minoxidil 5% at a rate of 1 ml and biotin at 5 mg / dl at a rate of 2 ml. Intervention 2: Control group:  Using topical minoxidil as one cc twice a day, 60% alcohol, 10% propylene glycol, 1% lactic acid and approximately 30% water are used to make the solvent system.Minoxidil 5% is used in the amount of 1 ml.</i_freetext>

    <primary_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>Standard photographic score (reported by physician). Timepoint: The effect of these two classes of drugs is measured at the end of week 24. Method of measurement: Physician evaluation of hair regrowth at the end of week 24: In this method, a physician who is blind to the study by comparing pre- and post-treatment photographs (taken by Standardized global photography in 4 views) according to a 7- point scale gives points (14). Given that all patients are examined by a physician, the probability of error in subjective assessment is low.Greatly decreased = -3Moderately decreased = -2Slightly decreased = -1No change = 0Slightly increased = +1Moderately increased = +2Greatly increased = +3.</prim_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>Hair regrowth score from patients' point of view. Timepoint: The effect of these two classes of drugs is measured at the end of week 24. Method of measurement: Evaluate the patient for hair regrowth at the end of week 24: In this method, the patient scores according to a 7-point scale: Greatly decreased = -3Moderately decreased = -2Slightly decreased = -1No change = 0Slightly increased = + 1Moderately increased = + 2Greatly increased = +3.</prim_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>Number of hair. Timepoint: The effect of these two classes of drugs is measured at the end of week 24. Method of measurement: Hair count at the end of week 24 and comparison with the number of hairs at the beginning of the study: The results will be obtained through the hair polarizer (KC Technology).</prim_outcome>
