Brief Answer:
I dont think any of these medicines has that side effects
Detailed Answer:
Dear friend, Greetings, i do not think that any of these medicines which your mother is taking has side effects of causing facial hair growth. you need to check her hormonal levels ,
FSH, LH, TESTOSTERONE , AND ESTROGEN
Meet your endocrinologist with the report. in the post menopausal age group, estrogen levels goes down and that could lead to hirsutism
Women normally produce low levels of male hormones (androgens). If your body makes too much of this hormone, you may have unwanted hair growth.
In most cases, the exact cause is never identified. It tends to run in families. In general, hirsutism is a harmless condition. But many women find it bothersome, or even embarrassing
Many medications which she is taking are overlapping and please meet your doctor and get it changed
take care and do ask if you have more queries
thank you
