An older friend of mine (aged 70) has been on injectable blood thinner (Dalteparin 12,500 IU/0.5 ml injections) for 6 months and has recently been changed to 75 mg Clopidogrel with folic acid 5mg daily. This may be unrelated but this change appears to have coincided with the onset of sudden extreme hair loss with big strands coming out when she runs her fingers though her hair or brushes it. This is causing great distress and no response from specialists about this. Anyone got thoughts on these drugs? Thanks.

Any pharmacists on here or general clever people - might these drugs cause extreme hair loss?
