Is It inevitable As The Drug Depletes Much Needed Protein In The Body

 There is no doubt that Celexa and hair loss are not directly related as far as treating either depression for which the drug is most often prescribed, nor is it meant to control hair loss. Celexa is a drug given to someone who may be in need of improving his or her mood to come out of say depression and thus this drug is really an anti-depressant of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor variety. Also, the main use of Celexa is to increase some natural substances present in the user’s brain and thus, since it is clearly prescribed for treating depression, it must not be used outside without first getting a doctor to prescribe it and so considering Celexa and hair loss without first getting medical opinion would be dangerous to say the least.

 Also A Means To Treat Prostate Cancer

 Celexa is also used for prostrate cancer treatment and as an anti-depressant it can be used for the treatment of hot flashes especially in men who may be undergoing hormonal therapy for their prostate cancer problem. Thus, far from Celexa and hair loss being genuinely concerned with anything but depression, and now of late prostate cancer as well, one would need to think twice before using Celexa for hair loss.

 In fact, doctors would actually be the first to inform you that celexa causes hair loss as a side effect though such a reaction has yet to be medically confirmed. There are however many patients that have reported Celexa and hair loss as occurring after using this anti-depressant and one of the reasons put forward as to why Celexa and hair loss go together is that the drug can cause protein depletion and also amino acid depletion. And, hair is essentially made up of protein which makes the theory stronger and also quite valid that there is no advantage to be gained from using Celexa as far as preventing hair loss is concerned.

 Thus, besides asking your doctor about Celexa and hair loss, you may also need to ask about how to prevent such hair loss that is a result of taking Celexa and also try and avoid taking the drug by looking for alternative solutions. You may want to consider eating a diet that is going to promote your health and which contains enough of proteins as well as iron that will promote hair growth, and by also ensuring that you get enough rest and do not treat your hair abrasively, you will have found good ways of reducing and also preventing hair loss in your normal activities.

 

Hair Loss : Myths And Misconceptions

June 17th, 2008    Subscribe To Our Feed

No matter how much societies advance, there will never be a shortage of myths that surround common, normal maladies such as acne, weight gain and hair loss. The reason for this is simple: people do not double check the facts when it comes to listening to flippant explanations for things that can be highly complex. Then again, the explanation for a condition can be simple as well.

 The key to these simple or complex answers is that they are accurate. If they are not accurate then what is their value, then what is the value that can they provide. In the issue of hair loss, it is unfortunate that some may prescribe to inaccurate information and myths when there are a variety of legitimate treatments that can be helpful. In order to shed a little light on the subject, some of the more common myths will be mentioned and exposed.

 Myths Abound

 Here is a common hair loss myth that is absurd on a number of levels: wearing a hat excessively will lead to hair loss because it will cut off oxygen to the scalp that the hair follicles need. This is so silly that it defies belief that some will prescribe to it. First, a hat does not create a vacuum where oxygen can not reach the hair and secondly, if you shaved a person’s head and poured varnish on the scalp on a daily basis hair would grow. In short, wearing a hat does not cause hair loss!

 Neither does overly brushing your hair nor will wearing certain hair styles cause hair loss. These are common myths that have circulated along with a host of other myths that are pulled out of the air to explain that which is unexplainable to one who neither knows nor understands the concept of genetics. Ultimately, hair loss is a genetic issue and not the result of common, everyday actions that yields pattern baldness.

 Sources of Info

 When it comes to separating fact from fiction, it is important to seek a credible source as the root of the information. As such, it is wise to seek sources that include a background in biology or medicine as these sources base their info on proven research and information as opposed to reasoning that bases its origin in 15th mythology. Sadly, many people do not realize that the origins derive from ancient mythology so the myths perpetuate to the point they remain modern as opposed to fading away.

 As scientific research reveals more and more secrets about the human body, it will not be long before the fiction of today will become the facts of tomorrow. Hair loss is an age old complaint and our understanding of the Why’s and where for’s are becoming clearer and treatments are becoming better by the day.

 

Zetia And Hair Loss

What You Should Know

 If you have high cholesterol, chances are you have heard of the drug Zetia or you might even be taking it.  Doctors often prescribe Zetia to help block bad cholesterol and many people that use are seeing their cholesterol numbers go down.  Unfortunately there are a few side effects when you take prescription Zetia. Zetia and hair loss have recently been linked together.

 Medication And Hair Loss: Zetia Is Not The Only Culprit

 Most medications have some side effects, and hair loss is sometimes one of the side effects of many different kinds of medication. Zetia and hair loss is perhaps one of the most linked drug and hair loss pairings reported to doctors. If you experience hair loss and you have recently started a new medication of any kind, talk to your doctor and see if the two things are related.

 If you have recently prescribed the drug Zetia, know from the start that for some people taking Zetia and hair loss go hand in hand. When you are prepared to experience side effects, they are often easier to deal with. If you anticipate the fact that this drug could cause your hair to thin, you can take measures to help you cope with the loss of your hair. You can do research on topical treatments that might slow the thinning process, you can think about adopting a sporty shaved look, or even investigate whether wearing hair pieces fit into your lifestyle.

 Zetia And Hair Loss: Your Health Is Worth It

 If you are taking Zetia and you notice that you are losing your hair, don’t stop taking the drug. You should never stop taking a drug without talking to your doctor, for any reason. Some drugs need to be weaned from your body and if you stop taking them cold turkey, it can be extremely dangerous.

 Your doctor prescribed Zetia to you because your cholesterol levels are dangerously high. Having high cholesterol can lead to heart attack or stroke, both of which can be deadly or debilitating. Having thinning hair might not be high on your list of things you want, but given the choice between losing your hair and losing your life, your life is much more important. If Zetia is causing your hair to thin, look for ways to deal with the hair loss rather than just stopping the medication. Your health is so much more important than your hair.

Hait loss and prozac

June 16th, 2008    Subscribe To Our Feed

To treat hair loss one may be thinking in terms of Prozac for hair loss though it has been found that the drug is quite effective in curing the habit of pulling out hair, but only in some instances and not in each case and how effective it is will vary from individual to individual with some people getting cured of their habit of pulling out hairs, while others may not notice any difference at all, while in still other cases there may be mild improvement. However, Prozac is essentially prescribed to treat depression and in some cases even for treating compulsive obsessive disorders, and a common though not very serious side effect of taking this drug is to experience hair loss.

 Anyone’s Guess

 Thus, it is anyone’s guess whether Hait loss and prozac are in fact good or not, and while it may be prescribed to reduce a person’s tendency to pull at his or her hair and thus prevent hair loss, it is just as much likely to cause hair loss when taken for treatment of depression or other disorders. In fact, this is not the only drug that can cause hair loss and so when considering Hait loss and prozac, you should ask the doctor whether it is going to benefit you or further aggravate your hair loss problem.

 One should thus only err on the side of caution and think carefully about Hait loss and prozac and even though drugs are commonly used in preventing hair loss, these are usually Rogaine and also Propecia that are most used. So, before thinking about Hait loss and prozac, you may even want to consider undergoing restoration surgery, though it will certainly cost a fair bit, but it will at least protect you against side effects of drugs and the results will last for a long time and will also make your hair look natural once again.

 You really do not want to mess with drugs that are actually used in treating depression and obsessive-compulsive disorders because there is no guarantee that Hait loss and prozac will actually be worth the effort, and it also does have a bit of risk involved as well. If, in fact Hait loss and prozac were a good idea, would you not have read about it in the news, for such a possibility would certainly call for cheer and thus would have become big news indeed.

 So, one can only tread with caution and the best steps to take when concerned about what Hait loss and prozac are all about is to get professional medical advice before trying it out because it does have a known side effect which causes hair to fall rather than the other way around, though it may cure one of the bad habit of pulling out one’s hairs.

Alternative hair loss treatments

Aside from wigs or transplants as a method of stopping hair loss, there are several alternative hair loss treatments available. All vary in price and method, ranging from doing them in a persons home, to going to a specialist clinic.

 Steamer Treatments as alternative hair loss treatments

 This alternative is said to work on the same principles as saunas do, opening the pores and allowing the discharge of waste. It can be done in a person’s bathroom with hot towels on a scalp with the product available to assist them with this or in a real sauna where the effects could be felt on the entire body.

 High Frequencies as alternative hair loss treatments

 This is a high frequency current which stimulates the surface of the scalp by massaging the cells of the scalp. It is supposed to improve the nourishment, stimulate local blood circulation, stimulate local glandular activity as well as supplying heat and is soothing to the nervous system of the scalp.

 Laser Treatment as alternative hair loss treatments

 Laser treatment is a very new type of treatment that is on the market. A low voltage beam is pulsated across the scalp which claims to give stimulation to the follicle which makes new hair grow. This treatment can cost up to several thousand dollars for a course of 30 visits to the clinic.

 Scalp Massagers as alternative hair loss treatments

 This is normally carried out to loosen the scalp, and assist penetration of the medication. It is claimed that it also arouses the surface blood supply. Allegedly embryonic hair is formed from materials transported by the same capillary system.

 pecialist Shampoos and Scalp Tonics as alternative hair loss treatments

 Most clinics have their own range of hair tonics, shampoos and conditioners. Some top clinics sell several months course of tonic, shampoo and scalp cleanser. They are not cheap, and it is claimed that they are too expensive for what the consumer is getting for their money. It is best if a person decides to go for this option as an alternative hair loss treatment is to ask for the three main ingredients in their products, then consult a doctor to see if the ingredients have actually been proven to make a big difference to people suffering from hair loss. It is also worth asking for a free sample. If a clinic does not provide free samples then it cannot have too much faith in its own products which will tell the customer something about the company.

 As researchers continue to make rapid and amazing break throughs in modern medicine it is inevitable that some of these research studies have produced products that do work, however you need to do your own research before taking up one product rather than another.
