Certain drugs can contribute to excess hair growth, changed in the hair color, or texture of hair loss. Drugs cause hair loss by interfering with the normal cycle of scalp hair growth. During the anagen phase, which lasts for about 2 to 6 years the hair grows to the telogen phase, which lasts about 3 months, the hair rests. At the end of every telogen phase, the hair falls down and there is replacement of new hair. Medications can lead to 2 types of hair loss. One is called as telogen effluvium and second is called as Anagen effluvium. Telogen effluvium is the most common form of drug induced hair loss. It usually appears within 2 to 4 months after taking the drug. This condition causes the hair follicles to go onto their resting phase, that is telogen and follow too early. People with the telogen effluvium usefully shed between 100 to 150 hairs per day. Aanagen effluvium is the type of hair loss that occurs in the anagen phase of the hair cycle when the hairs are actively growing. It permits the matrix cells which produces new hair from dividing normally. That type of hair loss occurs within the first two days to weeks after taking the medication. It is most common in people who are taking chemotherapy drugs for cancer and is often severe in most of the people who loose most of all of their hair on the head as well as their eye brows, eyelashes and other body hair. The severity of the drug induced hair loss depends on the severity of the drug and the dose as well as the sensitivity to the drug. What are the type of drugs causing this hair loss? There are different types of drugs which are thought to cause hair loss when taken for a prolonged period, this includes active medications such as Vitamin A , retinoids, antibiotics or antifungal drugs, anti-depressants and birth control pills, anticlotting drugs, cholesterol lowering drugs, drugs that stimulate the immune system, drugs that treat breast cancer and other cancers, epileptic drugs that is anticonvulsants, high blood pressure medications such as antihypertensive such as Beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, and diuretics, Hormone replacement therapies, Non-Steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, Parkinson’s disease drugs or medications, thyroid mediations and weight loss drugs. #keto delta 8 gummies #is via keto gummies a scam #diet pills glucomannan #when to take keto acv
