Symbicort and hair loss

[ericat659Asthma]

Does anyone else have this? The only thing that has changed is I started using symbicort and my hair is coming out in handfulls. I do usually shed a bit more during hot weather but nothing close to this.

Hi I am sorry to hear this. I have never heard of this happening before with symbicort and it is a very commonly used med. Go and see your doctor. x

Wow! I use symbicort but haven't suffered with any hair loss!

New here & use Symbicort but don't have hair loss

If you only started using Symbicort a few days ago, then it's highly unlikely that it's responsible.

ok, will wait a while and see what happens then. Luckily my hair is extremely thick so I can take quite a lot of hair loss which I have had anyway previous years in summer just not so bad as this now, and it could just be the heat, perhaps coupled with all the medicines I have been on the last few weeks, or general stress or tiredness associated with getting this illness, could be anything. Thanks.
