Does Taking Allegra And Atorvastatin Together Cause Hair Loss?
I have many allergies. Therefore, I am checking the ingredients of all med/s that I am taking. I am experiencing hair thining (loss). Not sure if my allergies could contribute. I am interested in ingredients of Allegra 180 mg and Atorvastatin Tabs 10 mg.. Can drugs taken together cause hair thinning (loss)?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Well, I don't think that these two medications cause hair loss.
This is probably just genetics. effective treatments for some types of hair loss are available. But some hair loss is permanent. If your hair loss is caused by an underlying disease, treatment for that disease will be necessary. This may include drugs to reduce inflammation and suppress your immune system, such as Prednisone. But also, 2 medications are used for treatment and include minoxidil and Finasteride. If there is no success with these then hair transplant or restoration surgery can make the most of the hair you have left.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
