I recently started taking Qulipta for my chronic migraines. I've noticed my hair seems to be thinning a bit more than usual lately. Does Qulipta cause hair loss?

While you can try gentle scalp massages with coconut oil, hair loss is a listed side effect for some migraine medications. It is best to consult your doctor if the hair fall is very heavy.

Please get your blood work done to rule out any vitamin deficiencies before blaming the medicine. Safety first, so consult your doctor before stopping Qulipta.

I was researching Qulipta for my mother's chronic migraine. It's not the most common side effect, but quite a few people on forums have mentioned experiencing hair thinning after a few months.

Hair loss is definitely reported by some users on Qulipta. Don't waste time on home remedies, just tell your doctor and they might adjust the dosage or switch you to something else.

I don't know about Qulipta, but if I lost hair, I'd at least want to drown my sorrows in some hot jalebis! Jokes aside, do mention this to your physician.

I had severe hair thinning when I started my migraine treatment, and ignoring it only made things worse. Please book an appointment with your doctor to discuss this side effect as soon as possible.

Make sure you are getting enough protein through lentils, paneer, and sprouts. Sometimes medication-induced hair loss can be managed with a clean, nutrient-rich vegetarian diet.

I get so anxious about any new medicine causing hair loss. Please don't panic, but do get a doctor's opinion to see if you can take some hair vitamins along with it.

Between managing my back pain and high BP, losing a few hairs to Qulipta is the least of my worries. But yes, some people do report hair thinning with it, so keep an eye out.

Dekho, every strong medicine has some side effects. If Qulipta is helping your migraine but causing hair fall, you need to decide with your doctor which issue is more urgent to treat.

Since I already deal with PCOS-related hair loss, I know how distressing this can be. Qulipta has been associated with hair thinning in some patients, so please discuss this gently with your doctor.

Beta, don't worry too much. Sometimes these strong medicines for headaches can cause hair fall, but it usually stops once your body gets used to it. Take care.
