What helps with hair loss?

I started taking Eliquis for afib and one month later started losing hair. Has anyone else experienced this taking this medication? I read other anticoagulants cause this but hair loss is not listed as a side effect of Eliquis.

I took Eliquis for three years. Yes, my hair is gone on the sides. This is not a listed side effect but plenty of people have it. I had surgery so I do not have to take blood thinners. Now I am trying to get my body back to normal. I plan to take GLA in the form of black currant oil. Years before AFib, I took it for something else and my hair grew like crazy. But you cannot take it with blood thinners. Eliquis is a horrible drug.

Hi @rranch2005,
I was diagnosed five years ago with Paroxysmal AFib and was put on Eliquis. Then in June 2022 I was put on HU for ET. My prior thick hair has gotten pretty thin.
So I guess the combo of the two drugs is not great for hair, Best wishes, Eileen
