Hair loss while taking Sertraline is a rare but possible side effect, most commonly associated with the so-called telogen effluvium, which is a temporary form. In most cases, the hair follicles do not die, and reducing the dose or discontinuing the medication can allow hair to grow back, although this process can take several months.
However, it is worth consulting a doctor to rule out other causes of hair loss, such as stress or nutritional deficiencies, which also affect the condition of the hair. Supplements containing biotin, zinc and other nutrients supporting hair growth can be used as supportive.
