Does breztri cause hair loss?

My father started a new inhaler for his COPD, Breztri. He's quite conscious about his hair as it's already thinning. Does Breztri cause hair loss, or is he just overthinking it?

My husband used Breztri and started having some hair fall, but we weren't sure if it was the medicine or just age. I gave him regular warm coconut oil massages with curry leaves, and it helped control the shedding. Try natural oils to keep the scalp healthy.

Generally, inhaled medications like Breztri don't cause hair loss. You can try washing your hair with amla and shikakai water to strengthen the roots naturally. But if the hair loss is very sudden and heavy, please get it checked by a dermatologist.

Highly unlikely that Breztri is causing your hair fall. Ensure you are getting enough protein, zinc, and biotin in your daily diet, as nutritional deficiencies are the most common cause of sudden hair thinning.

Look, hair loss is not a listed or common side effect of Breztri. It is an inhaler for COPD, so the drug goes straight to your lungs, not your scalp. If you are losing hair, look at your stress levels or pollution instead.

At my age, my hair was leaving me anyway, so I can't blame Breztri! But seriously, my doctor said inhalers don't usually cause hair loss. It is probably just stress or lack of sleep.
