How Long It Takes To Grow Hair Back After Quit Losartan Potassium?

I have been on Losartan Potassium for 3 weeks and have lost half of my hair in the last two and a half weeks. I quit taking it 5 days ago. This morning for the first time, my brush was not full of hair after brushing. How long will it take for my hair to grow back? How do I encourage it to grow back??? What can I take to encourage new growth? It is very long, below my waist. Note: Before taking this script I bought a battery operated blood pressure machine and have been taking my BP for 3 months. My average BP is 129/78. I don t even need BP medication! Also diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 3 months ago, taking Glipizid and Meformin. Thanks

Hi,

Hair will take another 3 months to grow back. You can take hair supplements like tablet biotin 10 mg once daily. Also, keep your diabetes under control as uncontrolled diabetes can also cause hair loss.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
