Does Avapro Cause Hair Fall?
Feeling tired all the time and depress. I was losing my hair before taking Avapro, but since starting Avapro my hair loss has increased dramatically... like 50 x more. I went from 75 to 150 Avapro to lower my blood pressure and it has. I am 55year old female hair loss is big worry for me. Could it be Avapro?

Hi
Welcome to HCM
I appreciate your concern towards the hair fall while on medication for high BP.
The persistant hair fall is not due to the use of Avapro. It can cause tiredness but not hair fall.
Kindly visit your doctor for proper assessment and possible thyroid function tests to rule out hypothyroidism because hairfall and tiredness may be the presenting problem.
Wish you best of your health.
Awaiting your feedback.
