Do any medications cause hair loss in women?

Written by: Dr. Rowena | Posted: Oct 17 2008

Q: I take inderal, premarin, fioricet, and flexiril. Do any of these medications cause hair loss?

A: Based on the medications you are taking, I am assuming that you are an older female. Some thinning of the hair occurs naturally with the aging process. Many women notice this around the time of menopause. Regarding the drugs you mention, Inderal has been associated with mild skin reactions including reversible balding.
