My husband is taking oxycode 40 mg. twice a day for his illness, but is losing a lot of hair. He is also on a few other meds for high blood pressure and cholesterol, and narco for pain. Could this be causing the tremendous hair loss?
If his illness is a chronic illness, I would think that this is the first place to look for hair loss causes. I need to know more about his chronic disease to answer your question intelligently. Oxycodone is not the most common drug that is known to cause hair loss, but it has been reported to have hair loss as a rare side effect.
I’m a 48 yr old female. I have been taking Oxycodone pills 3 x a day for about 3 months for chronic back pain. In the last month I have really noticed an increase in hair loss. I’ve always had beautiful thick hair and now everytime I wash it or brush it, it just falls out. It’s starting to freak me out. I’m trying to take less of the Oxycondone since it’s the only thing I believe may be causing this, but my pain is really bad.
