Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I take morphine everyday and have to take 3 laxatives daily because of the morphine. I have been on it for years. My hair is falling out. Can taking laxatives makey hair call out? The doctors changed my thyroid but my hair is still falling out when I wash it.
The laxative intake is not responsible for hair fall. It is the underlying deficiency of zinc, vitamins or hormone imbalance as thyroid or others which is responsible for hair fall.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
