Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I understand from your query that you were taking treatment for hair loss and have recently detected a thyroid abnormality.
While the hair loss medicines do not cause thyroid abnormality, the vice versa is true.
Thyroid abnormalities could cause hair fall.
It might have not been diagnosed earlier.
You could continue to use the hair loss medication and follow up with the dermatologist.
You also need to consult an endocrinologist for the management of thyroid abnormality.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
