Suggest Remedy For Excessive Hair Loss In Asthmatic Toddlers On Dulera & Proair Medications

My 10 year old granddaughter has been on Dulera and proair for asthma. She has lost her hair 2 or 3 times since on these medications. she is currently loosing her hair again. It is not to the scalp, bet leaves her with a 1/2 in fuzz. Can these medications be causing this? She has had all kinds of testing done to rule out other causes.
