Hi,
Multidrug therapy (too many medicine) with some functional disorders, can really cause the hair fall, it is difficult to say for the single drug responsible for hair fall but altogether (multidrugs) could be the cause along with functional disorders like stress, anxiety.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Akhtarhusain, General & Family Physician
