Common Causes of Hair Loss

Medications

While we all know chemotherapy drugs could result in hair loss, there are actually many other medications that would lead to the same effect. These include beta-blockers, anticoagulants, anticonvulsants, hormonal therapies, anti-thyroid medications, and many more. Many medical experts have also reported that many common prescription medications would trigger temporary hair loss, cause the occurrence of male pattern baldness, or even result in permanent loss of hairs. However, do not stop any treatment plans that you start or are on without consulting your doctor first. [7]
