Lupron and Hair Loss

A had a shot of Lupron in May. Since then I have noticed I am losing my hair. I have several areas where I can see my scalp. I was wondering if the Lupron was responsible and if it is permanent. Is there something I can take to reverse it? Thanks!

Many drugs can cause hair loss, but it is generally the last on the list of other more common causes of hair loss. Also, you should consider the medical reason why you are taking a certain medication. The medical condition itself may be the reason for hair loss. I cannot tell you why you are losing hair or what may be the cause, but Lupron is reported to produce hair loss, although it is an unusual side effect. You need to speak with your doctor and address these issues with him/her. Before starting or stopping any medication you need to talk with your physician.
