While rare, medications like gabapentin, pregabalin, or etoricoxib (found in Etoshine MR) can occasionally cause temporary hair thinning as a side effect. This shedding can still occur even while you are using minoxidil 5% and multivitamins. The reassuring news is that this type of hair loss is usually temporary and typically reverses once the medication is adjusted. Please try not to worry. I highly recommend discussing this with your prescribing doctor, who can help safely review your pain management options.
