Prescribed lymecycline - read something about losing hair because of that, should I take it ?

Question

I am already afraid having an alopécia, can it happen with lymecycline or getting worse ? Should I take it ?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Hair loss isn't listed as a possible side effect for lymecycline. I recommend following up with your Doctor about your concerns. I also suggest seeing a hair loss expert to evaluate and go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like PRP/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
