Brief Answer:
it's a rare event

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

carbimazole may indeed cause hair loss but it does so rarely. Thyroid disease may also cause hair loss and it's far more common. If you do experience hair loss, your doctor should consider other causes first before attributing the effect to the drug.

I hope you find my comments helpful!
