[Alopecia due to Seroxat therapy].

There are 2 stages of alopecia, anagen and telogen effluvium, both of which may be associated with medication-related alopecia. We describe massive hair loss in a 51-year-old woman during treatment with Seroxat (paroxetine), which remitted after it was discontinued. Pathological mechanisms of drug-associated alopecia are complex and have yet to be fully elucidated.
