Hi jenny,

According to The National Library of Medicine, Losartan can in fact cause alopecia (hair loss) as a side effect. It doesn't appear to be very common though since this side effect is not listed in other directories, but it does happen.

If it becomes unbearable, you may want to consider switching medications or looking into a natural alternative that may be safer to use in the long run.

Have you had a chance to discuss this concern with your doctor yet?
