Will hair loss occur as a result of taking Glucophage or metformin? (To Dr. Sam and everyone with experience on these meds) From: Allison (anonymous@obgyn.net) Wed, 28 May 2003 23:12:10 -0500 (CDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Allison: "Follow-up question regarding Glucophage/metformin" Previous message: Blank: "Re: Pregnancy and progesterone" Hi, everyone, My hair is regrowing after a prolonged bout of telogen effluvium, and I'm preparing to begin taking a relatively small dose of Glucophage. I've read that hair loss can occur as a result of this, and I'm very concerned. Is this likely to occur? My RE will be prescribing a small dose, mainly as a preventive measure... I know that I probably do need to take it, as IR is the underlying cause, but the thought that it may undo the improvement in my hair is very distressing. It's a self-esteem issue, I guess, but it's still important. Any thoughts, experiences, and/or advice would be greatly appreciated. And thank you to those who responded to a previous question I asked - the information was most helpful. -- Allison Next message: Allison: "Follow-up question regarding Glucophage/metformin" Previous message: Blank: "Re: Pregnancy and progesterone"
