Does Carbimazole Cause Excessive Hair Loss?
Question: Does carbimazole give hair loss alot
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.
