Hi,
Hair loss is unlikely to be due to Pantocid DSR. Pantocid DSR is a proton pump inhibitor which suppresses the acid production in the stomach and is commonly used in the treatment of acidity issues such as stomach ulcer, reflux disease, etc. Its common side effects include diarrhea, headache, increased risk of infections or osteoporosis on prolonged use. It is not known to cause hair loss.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
