Are your medications causing hair loss?

There are many medications that may cause hair loss. These medications can cause hair to thin or come out in clumps. Common examples include chemotherapy, antidepressants, and anti-seizure medications.
Oral retinoids, tamoxifen, and blood thinners can also cause hair loss. It usually reverses once you stop taking the medication, but in some cases it can be permanent.
It’s best to talk to your healthcare provider about hair loss caused by medication — don’t try to treat it on your own. They can recommend the best treatment option or make changes to your medications to help reverse or manage hair loss safely.
