What Causes Eyebrow Hair Loss After Taking Lamisil?
I am a 54 yr old healthy male. It seems within the last few weeks I have started losing my eyebrows. I started taking a generic for lamasil about 3 months ago. Could that cause hair loss? Also it seem that my hair growth has slowed down significantly.

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Tablet Lamisil, on oral intake has a few side effects, but hair loss has not been reported as one of the side effects. Sometimes allergic manifestation may lead to unexpected side effects. It is better if the drug is stopped and then check if hair loss stops.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
