accutane and spiro (Accutane or Medications Induced Hair Loss)

posted by HairSite Admin, 24.05.2008, 22:22

Accutane causes hair loss due to telogen effluvium.
Spiro prevents hair loss due to androgen excess.

Only minoxidil has been used to treat hair loss due to TE.

TE hair loss will continue as long as the trigger factor is there ( accutane in your case).

You need to stop accutane and look for other options to treat your acne.
