I am 75 and have had expeience by hair thinning gradually. I started to take allegra 180 mg , one tablet for four days in AM. Today I noticed some rather distinct patches of hairloss, not extremely large yet, but am concerned. Also would I have a similar reacton to Mucinex allergy tabs..

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, fungal infection of hair could be the cause, or it could be due to age too, if it is the fungal infection confirmed then it can be managed with anti-fungal shampoo like "selenium" if this is geriatric problem then nothing much can be done hope this information helps.
