Both those meds affect zinc and copper. Both those minerals affect hair growth. Maybe doctors can start monitoring patient blood levels of both. Recommendations are 1 mg of copper for every 15 mg of zinc to keep from creating an imbalance. I don’t know if they can be taken together or not, but when I take them, I take the minerals early in the day and the meds at bedtime. Also check good food sources for each.

My thyroid and dhea levels tanked after starting the meds. My PCP told me that fighting chronic illness affects many things. Since all systems are interrelated, it makes sense that hormone levels would be affected. When your body is under stress, the pituitary slows the stimulation of thyroid hormone in order to conserve your resources. It is a protective mechanism. Your adrenal glands also take a hit from chronic illness. I was told that at least Azithromycin affects the mitochondria. I wish the treatment centers had endocrinologists on staff.
