    TLDR A girl's hair loss from a pharmacy error improved after getting the right medicine.
    A 15-year-old girl developed telogen effluvium, a form of hair loss, after a pharmacy transcription error led to her being dispensed methazolamide instead of the prescribed methotrexate for her enthesitis-related arthritis. The error occurred due to an auto-complete function in the pharmacy's computer system, and the dispensing pharmacist failed to verify the medication against the prescription. The girl's hair loss symptoms resolved with significant hair regrowth after the incorrect medication was discontinued and she began receiving the correct methotrexate dosage. This case highlights the potential for serious consequences due to medication dispensing errors.

      Chronic Telogen Effluvium can be managed by avoiding inflammatory foods, exercising, staying hydrated, and using supplements like krill oil, saw palmetto, or licorice root. Minoxidil is discouraged due to its cost and potential for worsening hair loss, while castor oil is recommended to strengthen hair roots and reduce shedding.
