Esomeprazole, Omeprazole, and Hair Loss
I have acidity problem and I’ve taken omeprazole for 2 months then esomeprazole for another 3 months. This results in great loss of hair from my scalp. Now I stopped these drugs and trying with conventional antacids. Should I get back my loosing hair?
There is no way to tell if omeprazole or esomeprazole (Prilosec or Nexium) were responsible for hair loss. There is no way to tell if you hair will grow back. I do not suspect your hair loss was a side effect of these drugs, but if it was, your hair should grow back. You may have a component of male pattern hair loss. You need to be diagnosed by a competent doctor.
