Brief Answer:
no seroquel does not cause hair loss

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

Thanks for writing to us. I can understand your concern.

I have never seen in any patient nor it is mentioned in literature that seroquel can cause hair loss or balding in front of head.

Common causes of such problem are excessive stress, thyroid abnormality, PCOD, local fungal infection, nutritional deficiencies, pregnancy or pills.

You should consult dermatologist once for evaluation and treatment.

Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.

Regards,
