What blood pressure medications don't cause hair loss?

Posted by mariserodriguez @mariserodriguez, Feb 10, 2022

I have had severe hair loss since taking Hypertension pills since 2019. Tried several types currently on Cardevilol since 2020. Cannot take Amlodepine as caused terrible constipation.

Hello @mariserodriguez and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Hair loss from medication can be complicated, as you know, because in most case, it requires going off the medication or finding a new one without that side effect. You said you have tried several medications so I wonder if have tried the one mentioned in this article?

- Which high blood pressure medicine does not cause hair loss or diarrhea?:

@amandajro I was on bisoprolol for 3 months and was switched to dots lol which I’ve taken for the past 9 months. Hairdos has been gradual but now that it’s become quite noticeable I’m hoping to find a new way to regulate my heart rate and blood pressure. Thanks for your help. *Sorry for the typo- I mean sotalol.

I read through the link you provided. It stated. "Hydrochlorothiazide does not seem to cause either hair loss or diarrhea " I am personally researching this medication as I have been on it for nine months and have lost between 60% and 65% of my hair. when I googled Hydrochlorothiazide, I found information from1: Mayo Clinic 2: SingleCare 3: Drugs.com "Hydrochlorothiazide is a medication used to treat high blood pressure and fluid retention. Some of the common side effects of Hydrochlorothiazide include hair loss or thinning of the hair." 1. 2. 3.
So, YES, as someone on this med. There is substantial hair loss for some...like me. I took this medication based on your information stating that "does not seem to cause hair loss" I would not have taken this med knowing I would lose all of my hair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
