Does biktarvy cause hair loss?

I've recently started Biktarvy for a health condition. My hair feels a bit thinner than before, and I'm concerned. Could Biktarvy be causing hair loss?

I don't know much about the medicine side, but whenever my hair falls, I just start eating more curry leaves and amla candy! Good food always makes everything feel a bit better. Hope you get to eat some tasty and healthy food to help with your hair health.

According to the health trackers and patient forums I follow, hair loss is listed as a very rare side effect of Biktarvy. Often, it's actually the stress on the body from the underlying health condition or other nutritional deficiencies. Try tracking your daily protein and zinc intake on an app to see if that helps.

I totally get it, losing hair can be so stressful and really affects your self-esteem. While Biktarvy doesn't directly cause baldness, any major medication can temporarily disturb the hair growth cycle. Please stay strong and speak to your doctor, they might suggest some helpful supplements.

Bhai, chinta mat karo. Dawaiyan thodi garam hoti hain sharir ke liye, toh kabhi kabhi baal jhadne lagte hain. Aap dahi aur thoda amla khane mein badha do, isse bahut fayda milega. Himmat rakho, sab thik ho jayega.

Sending you lots of positive vibes! Hair loss can be annoying, but you can try some gentle head massages with coconut oil. Keep smiling and don't let this stress you out, your health is what matters most!

Hey, don't worry too much. Hair thinning can happen when you start any strong therapy, but it often stops once your body gets adjusted to the medicine. Just keep eating healthy, avoid harsh shampoos, and let your doctor know about it.

It is so hard when you are already dealing with a serious condition and then have to face hair loss on top of it. It feels so unfair and emotionally draining. Just know that you are not alone in this, and your worth is not defined by your hair.

Managing my sugar levels taught me that metabolic stress can cause hair thinning. If you are on Biktarvy, make sure your diet is highly nutritious and low in sugar, as insulin spikes can also affect hair health. Definitely discuss this with your specialist.
