Hi. I canthink that you are worried about this. Unfortunately Amlodipine Besylste can cause hair loss or thinning even though it isnot the most common side effect of the drug. It is suggested that you switch to another drug. Some blood pressure medication can cause this and Amlodipine is not the only one
