Minocycline and Hair Loss

I have been on Minocycline for 7 months, 200 mg daily. I noticed, at month 3, my hair was starting to fall out in round patches. Also, at month 6, the hair on my face is falling out in round patches as well. My dermatologist told me to stop right away and one is not to be on this drug for more than 30 days at a time. I read that it takes 3-12 months for hair to grow back!!! I’m getting steroid injections from my dermatologist in all my balding spots. I was told this should speed the process for hair growth. Please don’t take this drug! BALDING!!!

Minocycline has been reported to be associated with hair loss.
