  • Summary

  • This episode is dedicated to a fascinating subject – drug-induced alopecia areata. In addition to genetic factors, alopecia areata is also influenced by environmental factors such as infections and medications. In this episode, Dr Donovan highlights two studies: “A Cross-Sectional Analysis of Medications Used by Patients Reporting Alopecia Areata on the FDA Adverse Events Reporting System” by Ravapati et al and “Drug-Induced Alopecia Areata: A Systematic Review” by Ezemma et al. These studies present an intensive exploration of drugs possibly causing alopecia areata.

    Studies show that monoclonal antibodies are common culprits, and reports of drug-induced alopecia areata are rising every over time.

    Surprisingly, it has been observed that the onset of drug-induced alopecia areata could be delayed by as much as a year. Also, patients who discontinued the alleged drug stimulating alopecia areata experienced regrowth of hair, while those who didn't, failed unless treated.
