Is An Alternative Beta Blocker Available That Doesn’t Cause Hair Loss?
Question: Is there a beta blocker available that does not cause hair loss?
Brief Answer:
Nebivalol or Bisoprolol could be a better solution
Detailed Answer:
Dear Mrs,
Hair loss is not a common side effect of beta blockers.
Anyway, I think it would be a better choice to change your beta blocker to Nebivalol or Bisoprolol, they are newer and more selective medications, with less side effects, especially Nebivalol.
Hope this was of help
Wishing you good health
