Can Having Lomotil For Constant Diarrhea Cause Severe Hair Fall?
Yes I been on lomotil for about 8 months now. Never was given a medical reason why I was put on it, just it would help with my constant diaharea. I have noticed the past two months when I comb my hair a lot is coming out. Is this from taking this drug?? I'm only on 2.5 milligrams 3 times a day. Thank you.
I can understand your concern for hair loss. Hair fall can be due to any long term illness or any emotional or stressful event and due to nutritional deficiency or hormonal influence.
I can make out that after illness or stress and nutritional dysfunction it is quite common to get hair fall because of change of nutritional and hormonal status.
If I were your dermatologist then would have prescribed you tablet containing Acetylcysteine, Calcium Pantothenate, Selenium, Zinc, Biotin, Copper as active ingredients. You can take these vitamins in the form of biotin, calicium pantothenate and other vitamin B complexes.
In yourself there is constant diarrhea and you have taken treatment for same so you can have hair fall due to the same.
Take care.
