A member asked:
Can the diet pill phentermine cause your hair to thin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Phentermine is a stimulant and can therefore have an adverse effect on your metabolic balance. Phentermine stimulates your sympathetic nervous system (sns). Too much sns stimulation can cause catabolic breakdown of tissue in your body and could lead to hair loss. Also sns affects thyroid and could create hyperthyroid state which can also cause hair loss.
