Options For Hair Loss: What You Should Know

by Andrea Dilea

Prescription medications are most commonly prescribed for health issues. These drugs, for the most part, have extremely beneficial effects, but can cause negative side effects for some individuals. Hair loss from medications is unfortunately a common side effect from many prescriptions. Fortunately, there are some steps you can take to mitigate the possibility of hair loss, or cut down on its severity.

Hair loss can be caused or made more severe by certain medications, so it is important to educate yourself, and talk to your health care provider if hair loss is a concern for you. Certain medications taken for the treatment of depression, arthritis, high blood pressure and heart problems have been shown to cause hair loss in some people.

Before you begin taking any medication, regardless of its prescription or over-the-counter status, you should make sure that you know everything you can about the medication, its normal effects, its potential side effects, and how it interacts with other medications. It's important that your doctor knows what medications you regularly take so that possible negative interactions can be avoided. Also, many pharmacies keep track of the prescriptions for an individual and can notify the pharmacist about possible problems between medications, so it's a good idea to consider using the same pharmacy for all of you medications.

If your medication is causing you to lose some hair, you should realize that there are other treatment approaches available. It's important for you to decide for yourself how much the hair loss bothers you, and what you're willing to do to address the issues. It might be that alternative treatments aren't worth the extra expense or hassle to you.

There are a number of ways to deal with hair loss due to drug treatment. Some people use wigs or toupees, while others adopt new grooming methods. These approaches are only meant to address the time that you're actually taking the medication. After you stop the medication, your hair will have a chance to grow back. Compared to the difficulties of surgery, hairpieces and wigs are a much simpler option.

Surgery should only be considered as a last resort, if all other options have failed. If you opt for surgery, you will need to keep taking the medication for a very long time, probably for years. You should consider a less radical alternative if you do not expect to take the medication for a long time. Whatever decision you reach should be discussed with your doctor, to ensure that you are not placing yourself at unnecessary risk.
