Anyone have hair loss with lanreotide?

@maeve115 I had shot number 6 and my hair has been falling out since the 3rd. My doctor said the same thing— not a common side effect. He said I could try minoxidil but only the topical and not the pill form. I was told I could try biotin but not to take it the week before my shot because it could mess with labs. I just had a physical and my PCP just ordered thyroid tests so I will wait for that.

Omigosh.. "Not a common side effect" does not mean not a side effect. Glad you have a competent PCP who is checking out thyroid.. My hair stopped shedding and now is just thinned out.. too much I think but am grateful at least it did not continue. It will be interesting to see the thyroid test results. Hoping things work out ..
