Which treatment is recommended for alopecia (hair loss) and is hazardous for females of childbearing potential?

Minoxidil
Finasteride
Bimatoprost
Ketoconazole

The correct answer is: Finasteride

Finasteride is the only option listed that is recommended for treatment of alopecia (hair loss) and is also noted to be hazardous for females of childbearing potential. The other options do not carry this same warning and are not typically recommended specifically for alopecia treatment. Minoxidil is primarily used for male pattern baldness and is not considered hazardous for females. Bimatoprost is primarily used for eyelash growth and Ketoconazole is primarily used to treat fungal infections of the skin and nails.
