Prolia and Hair Loss

I am having slight hair loss and thinning. I had my first Prolia shot about 6 months ago and am now wondering if I should get another. I am also taking Synthroid after being diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Don't know which is to blame or either. Someone wrote that all the doctors defend the drugs they prescribe. Doubt that they bother to check interactions, etc. I did have alopecia areata several years ago, where clumps of hair came out. I got wigs. So, you might check to see if you have that autoimmune disease. Problem is: you don't know which drug to blame or what to fear most.....

Three years ago, I wasn't on any prescription drugs and felt great. The only thing I would take is the occasional ibuprofen. Since then, I've been on up to three Rx's at a time--each prescribed by a different doctor. There are definitely known negative interactions. All three of the doctors, at some point expressed serious concerns about the other Rx's. I couldn't get any good and consistent medical advice, so I made a decision to stop two of the drugs. Like you, I can't say for certain what caused my hair loss. It may have been the combination. What I do know, is that, once Prolia was in the mix, the hair loss was not to be ignored.
