I never considered this I’m the equation. I have been on different tetracycline antibiotics for 20 years. In the 1.5 years leading up to my Hairloss I had been switched over to Solodyn.

I was never warned of hairloss as a possible side effect. I stopped the drug cold turkey after a major Telogen Effluvium and been losing hair since. All diffuse all very even with only the small rear ridge of my scalp stayingvremotely normal. I have talked to over 15 derms and endocrinologist trying to solve this puzzle some of which had me on the drugs without warning. Both female doctors that had me start synthroid and Solodyn with no mention of Hairloss. Both just about 1.5 years before the loss started. I want to get a lawyer as this is negligent.

Why on earth have you been on antibiotics for 20 years? , that is unsafe on its own.
