Sorry , never heard of this but lots of people claim anticoagulants cause it.

Thanks for reporting this! It is exactly what I have expected to be very probable result of the vaccines for the "virus". I will not elaborate it, but my prediction was that the things will develop as you said...

Nope- not had this. Not that I have a lot of hair anyway and haven't for years. Wehn I was on Prostap injections for prostate cancer 4 years ago some hair grew back but once the injections stopped the hair gradually wnet away again. A friend of mine uses Alpecin shampoo and he has some new hair growth maybe worth a try?

I don't think that it can be concluded that the hair loss was caused by the vaccine simply because it occured after the vaccine, although this is not impossible. A starting-point might be to look at list of reported side effects to see if/how often hair loss is listed as a side-effect. As BobD has pointed out, hair loss is a known side-effect of anticoagulants.

I’d report it to the Medicine reaction on the government site. After 2 weeks of me taking Apixaban, my hair started coming out.

I know a good number of vaccinated people and I have never heard anything like this from any of them. They're all entirely well and pleased to be safe from the worst effects of this scourge. All-in-all, we've concluded the vaccinations are very worthwhile.

If you're on this forum, I assume you have AF. Most of the beta blockers cause hair loss. I've never heard from anyone that the vaccine causes it.

Quite possible as side effects can show up long afterwards of any medication and people don't relate to the particular med that may cause as others say it could be the anti coagulants also that's if you are on anti coagulants are you on anticoagulants
