Metformin can alter how your body absorbs B vitamins and some people lose hair due to the decrease in absorption. When I first started taking Metformin i started losing hair, but I have really, really thick hair so didn't think anything of it. After a few months my doc told me to buy Vitamin B complex from the local GNC or grocery store. Since then it has drastically subsided. It still sheds when I do get a menstrual cycle which is still months apart.
Hope that helps... |
