What Causes Severe Hair Loss While On Levothyroxine?
I m wondering if the hair loss effect of levothyroxine will last forever. I started taking them in May and the issue hasn t gotten any better. I had called my doctor on this and he says every pill has a different effect on different people. After that, I ve started taking half pills. Still losing the hair. I m thinking my next step will be to stop taking the pills. I really rather have hair than pills.

What Causes Severe Hair Loss While On Levothyroxine?
Hi welcome to health care magic.... Let me know you benefits are more in your case as compared to side effects... Drug should not be stopped by your own.. Initially hair loss can occur in few patient but that is temporary... Dose of levothyroxine adjusted according to TSH level of blood.... Consult endocrinologist for discussion regarding this.... But don t stop drug by your own.. Hope this will help...
