I've been on Metformin for a 2.5 years now and I've definitely noticed some hair thinning. I've tried changing my shampoo to a gentler formula, plus I've also started using a scalp massager to stimulate blood flow and promote hair growth. It's not a miracle solution or anything, but it's helped a bit.

I've been taking Levothyroxine for hypothyroidism and Metformin for diabetes, and I also have issues with my hair falling out . I've tried everything from hair growth supplements to special shampoos, but nothing seems to be working.
