Fabric of Hair Investigates: Hair Loss due to Medication🧐
Many prescription and some over-the-counter medications can cause hair loss as a side effect.
Hair loss as a result of medications is often temporary, meaning normal hair growth will resume when people stop taking the drug. In rare cases, however, people can experience permanent hair loss.
However, it is vital to speak to a doctor before stopping a drug, even if it is causing hair loss.
Once a person has ceased the medication, hair can take up to 6 months to grow back properly.
Some people may notice hair growth within 3–6 months, but it may take 12–18 months for the hair to return to healthy normal state.
