Benicar and Hair Loss

January 11 2007, 9:34 am PT | Posted in: Drugs + Drugs (Cause Hair Loss)

Hi,

I am talking Benicar 20mg daily for about 3 years. Recently I lost a lot of hair (Type VI) without any specific reason. I wonder if Benicar is causing this?

Thanks

A rare side effect of Benicar is hair loss (source: WebMD / AOL Health). Get your health checked and your hair mapped out for miniaturization and cover all bases. Maybe, just maybe, your hair loss is from other causes.

Are you taking just Benicar or is the the combo with the diuretic?
