A member asked:
Does your hair grow back if you stop elmiron (pentosan) cuz it causes hair loss will it grow back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hair loss: Ask your pharmacist if elmiron (pentosan) causes hair loss. If they say it is possibly the result of elmiron (pentosan) please call your doctor soon. No harm should come from a day or two not taking the med before you can see your doctor.
