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.
What is GLA in black current oil, I’m very interested in products that reduce or end hair loss but none of the products that fall into a beta blocker. A popular one is sold every where but I can’t remember the name, it’s topical and only works while using it, however it’s a beta blocker and my heart is not working properly so it’s not an option, thanks 😊

I saw my dermatologist today and after examining my scalp, she says the hair is coming back! Whew! So relieved. Mine is telogen effluvium from significant weight loss in a short time. I had noticed the hair shedding had reduced. It’ll take about a year for significant return. I’ve been on a tiny dose of Minoxidil for one month.

Go to the Mayo Dermatology Department. I'm on two Rx's and it's helped immensely.
Massage your scalp to get the blood flow going and help dry scalp. You can use a comb even.
