A member asked:
Will all the medications from surgeries and the antibiotic (doxycycline hyciate) cause hair loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Hair loss can be a side effect of some medications. Without knowing what your medications are, it is hard to answer your question. Doxycycline in general does not list hair loss as its common side effects. On the other hand, the stress of surgery itself can affect your hormone status such that your hair growth and hair loss suffer an imbalance with end result of hair loss.
