Question: Can you recommend a blood pressure medication that will not cause my hair to fall out? I have been using lisinopril for 6 months and am afraid that my hair is falling out because of it. I was taking metformin, but stopped because I heard it can also cause hair loss. Is this true? Help!
Answer: My advice is to review all of your blood pressure medications by searching online. Different drug side effects related to hair loss are published and available. Your blood pressure control should take priority over hair loss, but finding the right drugs with a good doctor’s help is a good idea. It is also possible that the drugs are not the cause of your hair loss, but rather you are experiencing hair loss from an acceleration of the genetic process. For this possibility, I would recommend seeing a good Hair Doctor.
