Does Lopressor Cause Thinning Of Hair?
I am a sixty-two year old female in good health, however , twelve years ago I have a single open-heart bypass on the back of my heart. I have agreat cardiologist and surgeon for this and recovered very well and returned to my normal lifestyle. I have been taking Lopressor 50 Mg twice daily and one Lopressor 40 mg daily. Now I have been experiencing my hair thinning on the top of my head. Could be this something related to my meds as I did read that a rare side effect of Lopressor is thinning hair? I have been taking this for over ten years daily and also would you suggest something to discuss with my medical doctor? Thank you for your time.
