Do Luxiq or Singulair cause hairloss? I have been prescribed Singulair for allergies and luxiq for scalp irritation.
Luxiq is a brand name for betamethasone topical steroid cream. Singulair is a medication for seasonal allergies. If used as directed they should not cause hair loss, but any medication can carry a small potential for hair loss. I suspect if you are losing hair it may be due to causes other than the medication itself. Before starting or stopping any medication always consult with the physician who prescribed those medications to you.

I have been taking Singulair for a year now and my hair is falling out by the hair fulls. I stopped taking it and hopefully my hair will grow back.
