Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is Hair Loss Associated With Coversyl Plus Medication?
I have been taking Coversyl Plus HD -dosage of 2.5 mg.one a day. I started taking this medication approximately one year ago and have noticed a drastic drop in my blood pressure - for the better. My blood pressure was at one time well over 156\80-ish and now it is 120\ 75. I have also been smoke-free for over 1 year. I feel so much better - even with the added weight which will eventually be worked off. The only question I have which nobody seems to have an answer for is this: I have been experiencing a degree of thinning of my hair and in spots, it just does not grow - also - it has become wavy - almost curly in the front. My age will be 67 this month - and I was wondering if my hair loss problem was as the result of this mediation - although the list of side effects does not mention hair loss.The only other thing is a cough which could be due to the lungs clearing out after many years of smoking - the coughing has subsided somewhat at this time.
coversyl is one of Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, or ACE inhibitors that can cause hair loss,it also can cause cough as a side effect .your doctor can prescribe you another blood pressure medication if these side effects upset you.
