a year agoIs there anything you can take or do for hair thinning while being on Tamoxifen?
Accepted Answer
Hair thinning is a common concern for many people taking Tamoxifen, and there are several approaches that healthcare providers often discuss with their patients. Consider speaking with your oncologist or a dermatologist about options like gentle hair care products, scalp treatments, or supplements that might help support hair health during treatment - they can provide guidance based on your specific situation and medical history.

a year agoYes it is prescribed by your doctor minoxidil 1.5 mg. 1 tab per day. It works like a charm. My hair was thinning also but 2 years later and it’s as thick as use to be and has grown about 20 inches. Please do not hesitate to ask your Doc.
