Omeprazole and thinning hair
Posted , 8 users are following.
I have been taking Omeprazole for 8 months now. I find that my hair is becoming very thin. I always had a full thick head of hair and am now getting worried about this side effect. Is this normal. Has anyone else felt this?

Did you hair grow back? I have severe hair loss and stopped taking Omprezalole 3 days ago but it's even worse.

A dermatologist does this? I thought they only took care of skin. That's good to know.

Try swopping your PPI to pantoprazole or to a H2 if they suit and work that is. I was on Pantoprazole for over 2 years, a great med that sorted my long standing stomach problems out 98%. But then I started itching, like mad itching. Tried H2s did nothing for me so back on Omeprazole again now (was on it for years). I will try to move back to pantoprazole in a few months. I'm afraid that mixing and swopping meds is part and parcel. I do take magnesium, D and B12 everyday now also. Meds all have side effects and these can be so individual that the docs and pharmacies will tell you it cant be the meds lol.
