Synthroid and Hair Loss
Question: Can an increase in synthroid dosage (due to hypothyroidism) cause severe hair loss?
Answer: Not usually if it is an appropriate dose. However, hypothyroidism will produce hair loss and it usually occurs after the hair has grown out about 1/4 inch. So, if the thyroid produced better and healthier hair there will be a weak spot from when the thyroid was low. This produces hair loss about a month after the thyroid is replaced. This will continue for about six months and then correct itself.
Synthroid
Question: My doctor is increasing my Synthroid dosage. I am now at level 0.088, and my thyroid level is still low. In the last few days since I've started the new dosage, I have noticed moderate amounts of hair falling out. Is this normal, and how long will it continue? Is it a side effect of synthroid or hypothyroid condition? My thyroid condition started with Graves' disease, and after the radiation cocktail, very quickly I became hypothyroid.
Answer: Hair tends to fall out about 3-4 weeks after the time of medication imbalance. This is because a weak spot in the hair firms with hypo or hyperthyroidism. As the hair grows the weak spot grows out also. When it reaches about 1/4 inch, the hair tends to break causing hair to fall out. I suspect that the current hair loss is due to a problem about a month ago when your thyroid was really out of balance. Decreasing the length of your hair will help this problem by decreasing the weight so that the weak spot will not fracture. Synthroid will not cause hair problems per se. An inaccurate dose can.
