I recently started taking Naltrexone for a medical condition, and I've noticed more hair falling out in the shower. I'm wondering if it's related to the medicine. Does Naltrexone cause hair loss?

Hair loss with naltrexone is actually very rare. Don't worry too much, sometimes our stress about taking new medicines causes more hair fall than the drug itself.

Honestly, between my late night work shifts and screaming toddler, I am already losing hair faster than any medicine could cause! I have been on naltrexone and didn't notice any extra hair fall. Just drink your coffee and try to sleep!

It is a very uncommon side effect! Just keep eating a good diet with enough protein and biotin to keep your roots strong while on this medicine.

I thought my hair loss was due to my new medication, but a quick blood test showed my thyroid levels had fluctuated. Before blaming naltrexone, please get your thyroid and iron levels checked. Regular follow-ups with your doctor are very important.

When I started my therapy, the doctor at Max Hospital told me hair thinning is a negligible risk with naltrexone. If you notice significant hair loss, it could be due to nutritional deficiency or stress. Ask your prescribing doctor clearly to rule out other factors.
