Hair Loss While On the Pill?
Posted: 09-26-03 23:34pm

Hi y'all. I'm 23 and have been on marvelon (a low dose monophasic pill) for the past five months. I've noticed that i'm losing more hair now than I did before. Is this normal?

There is no data confirming that birth control pills (including Marvelon) can cause hair loss as a side effect.

You could consult a dermatologist about your hair loss problem.
