Do all diuretics cause hair loss? i have used spironolactone and caused hair loss.so stopped taking it and now hydrochlorothiazide causing hair loss.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not all: Although spironolactone has been linked to hair loss, the other diuretics do not. However if you are losing hair from any drug, the answer would be to stop taking it.
