Abstract
Drugs are capable of producing a wide spectrum of hair ioss, ranging from barely detectable shedding to irreversible baldness. Drug-induced alopecia is usually described as a diffuse non-scarring alopecia which is reversible upon withdrawal of the drug. Usually antimitotic agents cause hair loss. Hair loss is reported secondary to some anticonvulsant agents. Other drugs like anti-hypertensives, salicylates or non-steroidal analgesics, anticoagulants and antithyroid drugs, oral contraceptives, cimetidine, retinoids, amphetamines, bromocriptine and levodopa and some hypocholesterolaemic and a few psychotropics may cause alopecia. Some anticonvulsants such as phenytoin rarely can cause alopecia. Diagnosis of drug-induced alopecia remains difficult. The only way to confirm It Is to see If an improvement occurs after discontinuation of administration of the suspected drug.
