Can Alynessa and midodrine cause hair loss?

Question

Hello, I started 5 weeks ago a continuous anovulant (alynessa) and midodrine 2.5 mg 2X/day. Since then, I'm losing my hair a lot. Can you tell me if this is a possible side effect of one of these two drugs please? Thank you If it is the anovulant that causes hair loss, as I doubt this medication anymore, can you tell me if there are anovulants that can cause less hair loss? Thank you

Thank you for your question! Indeed, this is a side effect associated with Alesse, but also with all hormonal contraceptives It is possible that there are types that cause less of this side effect. However, they must be evaluated with your profile, history and preferences. Your pharmacist will be the best person to suggest these alternatives to you and your doctor, and to follow up with you.
