Could Excessive Sweating And Hair Loss Be The Side Effects Of Cipralex?
my 20 yr old son has been on cipralex for the past 4 months and although he is benefitting from feeling less anxious, I have noticed some extreme side effects. the two most distressing side effects are: excessive sweating and hair loss. is this something I should be concerned about ?
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Cipralex can can induce hair loss as a rare and reversible side effect that may develop in the first few month of treatment and that is resolved after stopping the taking of the drug. So, if the symptoms continue, you should consult your doctor about an alternative treatment.
Hope my answer was helpful.
