Which medication is used topically to restore hair growth?

  1. Hydralazine

  2. Diazoxide

  3. Minoxidil

  4. Nitroprusside

The correct answer is: Minoxidil

Minoxidil is the correct answer because it is commonly used topically to treat hair loss in both men and women. Hydralazine, Diazoxide, and Nitroprusside are all medications used for different purposes such as treating hypertension and managing blood pressure. They are not used for hair growth and are typically taken orally rather than applied topically. Therefore, they are incorrect choices for this question.
