Hair Loss After Using Androgel

I am a 59 year old male. I began taking Androgel due to low testosterone levels and ED. Shortly after taking this drug my hair began falling out.

I decided to try to increase my testosterone levels through diet and excercise and possibly supplements, so I stopped using the Androgel. 2 to 3 weeks later I am still experiencing hair loss. When can I expect the hair loss to stop?

Androgel or testosterone can cause accelerated androgenic alopecia (AGA), even at 59 years old. You should discuss your concerns with your doctor, as you should not stop or start any medication without talking with your prescribing physician. There may be medications (such as Propecia) to slow the hair loss, but again, please talk to your doctor.
