Hey people. I've been on biso and digi for about 4 months now and I've noticed lots of my hair in the sink. One or both of the two is making it happen. The leaflet inside the packets both say hair loss may be a side effect. Anyone please??

    Hi Garry, I've been on Bisoprolol for about two years and I have been suffering hair loss for a long time. Unfortunately, there are some other causes of hair loss that may also apply to me, so I couldn't give you a definitive answer.

    Hi Garry,

    I have been on Bisoporol for just over a year and I have also noticed more hair in the sink and on the brush, I have also noticed my finger and toe nails grow a lot quicker than they used to.

      Now you come to mention it linda, my nails do seem to be growing quicker. I had thought so but dismissed it. Strange. What are we taking eh? Meds fix one thing and cause something else.

    Hi, I have been taking it for 5 months.

    Losing hair and almost bald on the side.

    I do suffer with low iron also and take meds for that too, so I'm getting that checked on Tuesday.
