A member asked:

Does hair loss in taking nordette (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) is normal? what should i take to stop it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unfortunately: Yes, the synthetic progestin hormones in birth control pills are known causes of hair loss. Hair loss can be triggered by many things ; it is very hard to reverse it.
