    Glossary Drug-Induced Alopecia

    hair loss caused by certain medications

    Drug-Induced Alopecia, also known as Medication-Induced Alopecia, is hair loss that occurs as a side effect of certain medications. This condition can result from drugs that interfere with the normal cycle of hair growth, such as chemotherapy agents, anticoagulants, and some antidepressants. The hair loss can be temporary or permanent, depending on the medication and the individual's response.
