Dr Sato conducted a large sample size study (3177 men) with some interesting results.

Adverse side effects occur in only 07% of men (23 out of 3177 men), 7 of whom discontinued treatment, 16 of which decided the benefits outweighed the drawbacks.
Patients with advanced hair loss experienced significant hair regrowth.
There was no real difference in the response between older and younger patients, age doe not appear to be a big factor.
Now I'm aware this is over a year old, and some people may already be aware of this study, and I'm also aware that this is a study in Japanese men, and the response may be different in men of other ethnicities, but still, this is quite an interesting study I think!
