What Causes Hair Loss While On Medication For BP?
my mom is getting thinning of hair mostly at the top crown area of her head, she is 69. She finds no hair in shower or bed. We were wondering if it could be any of her meds doing this, she is on nexium, sandoz - talmisutan for blood pressure, sinthroid, zanax, and small dosage of wellbrutrin. She has been on all these meds for 15 years or more, the hair loss has started in the past several months. She has also gotten a rash on her legs which is itchy, small red marks that start with a white dot, then get red and scaly. Could these be from her meds at all?

no drug is responsible for that. only rule out dandoff. if present then apply nizral solution and followed by nizral shampoo. it is to be repeated several time. other wise it can be androgenic alocacia. only hair transplantation can be thought toff.
