What Causes Severe Hair Loss While On A Climara Patch?
I have been using the Climara Patch for about 8 months and recently noticed that my hair was shedding more than usual and it looks thinner. I read that it one of the side effects from using the patch. I decided to stop using it and would like to know if other woman have complained of the same problem and can i expect my hair to go back to normal?

Hello,
Hair thinning even though not very common with climara patch some patients do report having it.
It is expected for your hair to grow back to normal after you stopped it. Also be aware that hair growth might take a while to be noticed.
If you notice no improvement in a couple of months or you notice patches of hair loss or you notice any worsening please contact your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
