Suggest Cure For Severe Hair Loss

I have been taking Lorsatan for years. I have had substantial hair loss. I am female 62. I was just reading others here that say the same. I wonder if I quick taking it if my hair will start to grow back. It started about 2008. I remember hair falling out but no one knew why. Ugh!

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,

You could be having either chronic telogen effluvium due to losartan or androgenetic alopecia which is gradually thinning of hair from the frontal and mid scalp due to genetically determined hormonal predisposition.

Not sure whether stopping losartan would regrow hair but you can certainly ask your physician to replace it with another drug. The best it would do is to arrest or slow down further hair loss.

I suggest you use a hair regrowth supplement e.g Renocia hair serum and take an oral biotin supplement e.g Tab Revilus or H Vit forte once a day for a few months.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Kakkar S., Dermatologist
