Statins do cause hair loss. I called Phizer that makes Lipitor and they confirmed it. I now take Pravachol and called that company and they also confirmed it. They say the incidence is low based on their original study but that was done on men who may have thought they were naturally balding and not attribute it to the statis they were testing.
So therefore it was rarely reported as a side effect when in fact it may be more common as a side effect than anyone knows.
I definitely are having hair loss due to Statins because when I stopped several years ago for a while, my hair got thicker.
