Azor, Toprol-XL, and Hair Loss

Hi,

I am currently taking Azore for high blood pressure and occassionally toprol xl for heart palpatations. Can these medicines cause hair loss of a significant nature?

Azor (amlodipine and olmesartan) does list hair loss as a possible side effect. Taking Toprol-XL (metoprolol succinate) can also lead to hair loss in rare cases, as we’ve mentioned before. With the combination of these two drugs, you do have a higher likelihood of seeing thinning hair.
