Does thyroid drugs cause hair loss?

I'm a hypothyroid and I've been on thyroid pills for about 3 1/2 years. My hair never really did have much volume, but lately more and more people have been commenting on my hair - it has no volume at all.


I was wondering if my thyroid pills might have anything to do with it. I'm on Eltroxin (it's a levothyroxine).





If so, is there any way to counter the effects of the drug?Does thyroid drugs cause hair loss?
Yes in someone people.Does thyroid drugs cause hair loss?
Usually hair starts to thin out at the eyebrows as a warning sign of Hypothyroidism, meds shouldn't be doing this, I would recommend a visit to a Pharmacist and have a chat, they really do know there stuff.
