What Causes Hair Loss After Taking Ursodiol?
Since I started taking Urisidol 5oo mg 1tblt per day PO, I have started noticing rapid loss of hair. Is it possible that this medication is causing the side effect of hair loss and eventually alopecia? What would be the the better substitute for this medicine without this side effect?

IF YOU COULD TELL ME EXACTLY FOR WHAT PURPOSE YOU WERE STARTED ON URSODIOL I CAN SURELY HELP YOU
HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUERY. YOU CAN MESSAGE ME FOR ANY FURTHER CONCERNS
