Don't stress...But the meds you use can cause hair lost...

It is a known fact that using certain medicines is one of the most important causes of hair loss. A number of popular pharmaceuticals can interfere with the hair cycle and become a reason of hair thinning and falling out. Usually, medications trigger such types of hair loss as telogen effluvium andanagen effluvium. Sometimes hair starts falling out very soon, in 1-2 weeks after taking medicines, sometimes it takes 3-4 months to notice the problem. Fortunately, specialists are convinced that hair loss caused by medicines is reversible (especially in women), however, it is absolutely necessary to be very attentive and consider all possible side effects of the drugs we take.
Such medicines as cancer treatments (Chemotherapy)and antineoplastic drugs are closely linked to hair loss. Antidepressants (known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) like ProzacCelexaLithiumZoloftPaxil and others are also very common drugs which damage hair follicles and cause hair loss. This problem is associated with amino acid and protein depletion while taking these medicines, as a result of which our hair receives less amount of necessary proteins and nutrients for proper growth and development. Accutane (isotretinoin) is one more quite common medicine associated with hair loss. It is an acne treatment, which is reported to cause hair loss symptoms, mostly in teenagers and young people. The patterns and severity of hair loss caused by Accutane are strictly individual in every person.

A very important group of medicines frequently causing hair loss includes the pharmaceuticals, which affect our hormonal balance: various types of steroids and birth control pills are the most common drugs of this group. Sometimes, hair can start falling out after taking medicines with high content of Vitamin A in large doses. Finally, the following groups of medicines can also put you at a higher risk of having hair loss as a side effect: cholesterol and thyroid medications, diuretics, blood-thinners and the medicines for blood pressure regulation, anti-coagulants, gout and seizure medications, diet pills and so on.
