Thyroid tablet makes excessive hairfall?
Hi Doctors, I have hypothyroidism with TSH level as 12.7. I'm taking medications (Thyronorm) now. But I see excessive hair fall like around 200hairs, am losing a day. Is this normal during thyroid le while taking this medicine? should I look for other medicine? Please advise. What can I do for stopping this hair fall? How long the hair fall last? Will it regrow? I am really concerned about this.
Your answers will be really helpful to me.

Hypothyroidism alone is not the cause for hair fall
It can be even nutritional deficiency
Or may be dandruff
Next Steps
