Has anyone experienced hair loss when taking Losartan?

I am happy to report that my hair appears to be coming back in. I don't know if it will return to the pre-Losartan state but there are some 'nubs' appearing. I am thinking it's been 3 months since I stopped taking the medication.

I want to let people know that this drug causes substantial hair loss. I was on this drug for 3 months and lost most of the hair from the top of my head. I am a female and had thick hair. About 2 weeks after stopping this drug, some hair started to grow back, but it is going to take a very long time before I will be able to go without a wig. Very sad!

I always wondered wether Losartan was the reason my hair started coming out, now I know for sure after reading others comments. I been taking Losartan 100/25 for years. Now I have half a head of hair. I plan to speak to my Doctor about it asap to see if she could switch me to something else. I have a friend who take lisinopril and it keeps her face and feet swollen. I don't want that side effect at all or the loss of hair. So we will see what the Doctor says. With the hair loss, I've gotten use to wearing some really nice wigs but I don't want that, I want my hair back. Anyone who has stopped taking Losartan, did your hair ever grow back to it's normal? I will let all know what my Doctor says about switching my BP med.

I had been taking Losartan 50mg 1x a day for a few years and then my doctor raised the dosage to 2x a day (100mg). Had no issues of hair loss until I started taking the higher dose.

Yes, I am experiencing hair loss at the top of my head. I have been on 100mg Losartan for about 2 months and the hair loss has become significant. I normally have thick hair. I am talking to my doctor soon.

Yes omg I am experiencing a lot of hair shedding, never before when I was other BP meds. This is alarming. I am going to stop and get other meds! New to taking losartan bout 7 months!

I am a woman who has experienced severe hair loss in the back, crown and sides of my head, leaving me with no alternative but to cut all that's remaining. I have taken other HBP meds over the last 10 years with changes now and then. I was prescribed Losartan in late May 2017 and then the breakage began. I guess I'm in the 1%.

I am so glad you asked this question. I have been taking Losartan Potassium 50mg for a little over a month. My hair has been coming out by the handfuls, I was at the end of my rope and soon to be bald trying to figure out what was going on. I will not take another one.

Yes. My dr has no answers for me.

I have been on Losartan for 2 months and my once very thick hair is almost gone! I am a female and devastated.

I started Losartan 50 mg at the end of April, 2017, and within two weeks, my hair started coming out at a very fast pace. I am devastated as my hair is now completely see-through on the crown and extremely thin all over. I did not put two and two together until this week and have stopped the medication. I hope my hair comes back.

so glad I found this! My top and side balding is really starting to get to me. Very self-conscience about it. Appt. with dr this month and I'm going to ask to try something else.

I think I have,I have been on Losartan for a few months now and this morning after I washed my hair and was combing it out I got a glob of hair in my comb,I had been noticing more hairs falling out before this but this is the worst,just called my Doc.

I have been taking Losartan 100 mg for about 5 months. My hair has thinned out so much with in these last few months; I was wondering could this medication be the cause of my hair loss . After reading others comments; I am convinced that this drug is causing my hair loss. I will be calling my doctor tomorrow for an alternative!

Taking Losartan for a couple months. Seeing a significant increased hair loss. Unsure if direct correlation to the medication.
