I was on Alendronic acid 4 weeks before tooth began infecting. I've been told to stop taking until I see new GP.
**ONE thing did surprise me & that was hardly any hair loss in the shower after 4 weeks. Normally my hair really sheds since the Thyroxine & Topiramate.

I have had three alendronate infusions since 2019 with no noticeable hair loss.

I haven’t had hair lost but started having hot flashes after 20 years of no hot flashes. No idea what is causing that

If you haven't had your thyroid checked, you might consider. These supplements will change your thyroid production and hormonal issues can cause hair loss.
