Can Metformin cause hair loss and what mechanisms might explain this potential side effect in patients using the medication?
Metformin may cause hair loss in some patients, potentially due to its effects on hormone regulation and nutrient absorption, which can impact hair health.
1. Metformin may cause hair loss indirectly by affecting hormone levels or vitamin B12 absorption, leading to deficiencies.
2. Hair loss from Metformin could be due to its impact on your metabolic system, disrupting nutrient absorption, which affects hair health.
