Femara is one of the aromatase inhibitors. (I take anastrozole, for example.) One of the side effects of all of the AIs is hair thinning due to the reduction of circulating estrogen from an AI. Taking Biotin daily helps. Just stop taking the Biotin a few days before any thyroid blood tests as it affects the test assay.
