What Causes Hair Loss After Taking Losartan?
I have stopped taking Losartan after I noticed my hair thinning. But I have been on it for at least five (5) years. I just thought it was menopause until I read that Losartan was not good for African Americans and it caused hair loss. Now that I am on new meds will my hair grow back?

Hello,
As per your history, losartan does not cause hair loss.
For hair loss, you can apply minoxidil locally.
Use anti-dandruff shampoo. Avoid irritant hair oil and shampoo.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
