There is no way to tell if omeprazole or esomeprazole (Prilosec or Nexium) were responsible for hair loss. There is no way to tell if you hair will grow back. I do not suspect your hair loss was a side effect of these drugs, but if it was, your hair should grow back. You may have a component of male pattern hair loss. You need to be diagnosed by a competent doctor.
