Culprits of Medication-Induced Telogen Effluvium, Part 2.

Telogen effluvium (TE) is a common mechanism underlying medication-related alopecia. The inciting cause of TE may be difficult to identify due to delays in clinically apparent hair loss. Because medication-induced TE is a nonscarring alopecia that typically is reversible, appropriate management requires identification of the underlying trigger and cessation of potential culprit medications. In part 2 of this 2-part series on medication-induced TE, we focus on anticoagulant and antihypertensive medications.
