Does losartan cause hair loss?

According to clinical studies, hair loss or alopecia is listed as a rare side effect of angiotensin II receptor blockers like losartan. My physician explained that if it does happen, it's usually reversible once the medication is changed. You should get your ferritin and thyroid levels checked too, just in case.

When I noticed hair thinning, I went straight to my doctor at Max Hospital. She told me hair loss is a very rare side effect of losartan, and it could be due to other deficiencies or thyroid instead. Better to get a proper consultation rather than assuming.

Hey, please don't stress too much about this! Stress itself makes hair fall way worse, creating a bad loop. Losartan is generally very safe, but if you're really worried, just ping your doctor and they might switch your prescription to keep your mind at peace.

I track all my health metrics and symptoms on my app daily. When I started losartan, my hair fall actually remained completely normal. If you are noticing a spike, log your daily water intake and stress levels too, and share the log with your doc.

I really don't have time for elaborate hair care routines, so when my hair fall started, I just asked my doctor during my regular BP follow-up. It turned out to be a vitamin D deficiency, not my losartan. Save your time and just get a quick blood test done.

It is quite rare for losartan to cause hair fall, so don't lose heart! 🌸 Try eating some curry leaves and amla, they are great for hair anyway. And of course, keep your doctor in the loop about any changes you notice! 😊
