Gabapentin is a commonly prescribed medication for a variety of conditions. Doctors prescribe Gabapentin for conditions such as restless leg syndrome and hot flashes. This drug benefits millions, but it also has side effects.

Doctors frequently prescribe Gabapentin in the US, and some patients report alopecia.

Some evidence links Gabapentin to alopecia, but it’s not conclusive yet. Two studies from 2011 and 2015 linked anticonvulsants to alopecia but not Gabapentin in the 2015 study. Some evidence suggests these medications cause alopecia, but more research is needed.

If you take the drug long-term, your hair loss might increase. The good news is that there are lasting hair solutions without chemicals or more medication

Scalp micro pigmentation offers a long-lasting solution for those with medication-induced alopecia. Through pigment injections, skin micro pigmentation has few side effects and takes 2-3 sessions.
