Drug-induced androgenic alopecia - what does this mean
Drug-induced androgenic alopecia is a form of hair loss caused by the use of certain medications, such as steroids, anticonvulsants, and anti-androgens, that interfere with the body’s natural hormone balance and lead to an increased production of androgens, which can cause hair loss.
What happens during the disease - drug-induced androgenic alopecia
Drug-induced androgenic alopecia is a form of hair loss caused by the overproduction of androgens in the body due to the use of certain medications. this overproduction of androgens leads to an increased production of dihydrotestosterone (dht) in the scalp, which can damage the hair follicles and cause them to shrink, resulting in thinning hair and eventual baldness.
