Abstract
Hair loss is a common complaint, both in men and women, and use of prescription medications is widespread. When there is temporal association between the onset of hair loss and commencement of a medication, the medication is commonly thought to have caused the hair loss. Many reports in literature that attribute hair loss to particular medications have not adequately explored the nature of the hair loss and excluded other potential unrelated causes of hair loss.
