What could it mean if I am experiencing hair loss as side effect of medicine?

September 30th, 2009

Addison E asked:


Hair loss is listed in the side effects for the medicine amitriptyline that I am taking. I was just wondering what could cause it. The sheet that I received with it said to consult doctor if you experience hair loss. I’m not, like, losing chunks or anything, but I keep finding a lot more hair all over the house. And when I am in the shower there is a lot more hair falling out when I run my fingers thourgh is and wash it.

    Well another cause of hair loss
    is lack of protein. Just be careful
    and if it keeps up then ask your
    doctor.

    Take Care.

    perdemos el pelo naturalmente todo el tiempo, así que podría ser usted apenas lo está notando más porque usted leyó la etiqueta. Cuando hablan de pérdida de pelo como efecto secundario, están hablando de alopecia, de pérdida masiva dando por resultado los puntos calvos etc. Si no está ocurriendo eso, entonces yo wouldn' preocupación de t demasiado sobre ella.

    it means what the instructions state, “consult a doctor if you experience hair loss.”

    it means hair loss is probably a side effect to your medication, go tell the doc, they can change medication to adjust this …

    Hair loss is permanent. You need to weigh if you find that acceptable as a side-effect to put up with.
    For most things there’s a choice of drugs, and you could pick another.
    DO consult your doctor over this.
    If you’d like to research what other drugs there may be (and what side effects THOSE each have) go to drugs.com

    Also check out ask-a-patient.com (for lots of comments from peiople who’ve actually been using these drugs

    El Amitriptyline es un antihistamínico fuerte, y puede obrar recíprocamente (gravemente) con otras medicaciones también con las bebidas alcohólicas. La dosis se debe reducir gradualmente - de todas formas, don' t hace cualquier cosa sin considerar al doctor, y don' parada de t que lo toma precipitadamente.

    the medicine weakens your hair strands probably because the medicine is affecting your body’s ability to maintain proteins. It will probably grow back.
