Digoxin and Hair Loss?
I have been taking digoxin for a short while and have noticed clumps of my hair in the bath drain plug, on my pillows and basically everywhere. I am extremely worried about this and would like to know if this is reversable? kind regards.
Digoxin (also known by its brand name, Lanoxin) is a heart medication that shouldn’t cause hair loss as a side effect, but if adding this medication to your routine was the only thing that has changed prior to clumps of hair coming out, there might be something to it. That being said, I would discuss your hair loss issues with your prescribing doctor and explore the possibility of other undiagnosed conditions.
I couldn’t say if the loss is reversible without knowing why you’re losing hair. For men in general, hair loss occurs in specific “male patterns” and this is due to genetic balding.
ABSOLUTLY DIgoxin Can and did cause alopecia for my dad WE ER docs have seen this many times. Don’t bother with painful cortisone in the head shots it certainly Can be lanoxin!!! Spread to word to many people at ease if you don’t get great However yes it is a very real side effect emotionally painful if only warned First!!!
