Olanzapine Induced Hair Loss: A Case Report

摘要

Drug-induced alopecia is a side effect characterized by generalized hair loss. It is reversible when the drug is discontinued. Among psychotropic agents, this side-effect is most often reported with the use of valproic acid and lithium. There are limited reports on atypical antipsychotic-induced hair loss. Here, we report a case of hair loss after olanzapine use which resolved after the discontinuation of olanzapine.?ZET?laca ba?l? alopesi; yayg?n sa? d?külmesi ?eklinde olup, sorumlu ilac?n kesilmesiyle geri d?nü?ümlü olan bir yan etkidir. Psikotrop ila?lar i?erisinde bu yan etkiden dolay? en ?ok, valproik asit ve lityum su?lanm??t?r. Ancak atipik antipsikotiklere ba?l? sa? d?külmesi ile ilgili yay?n say?s? olduk?a k?s?tl?d?r. Yaz?m?zda olanzapin tedavisine ba?lad?ktan sonra ortaya ??kan ve sadece tedavinin sonland?r?lmas?yla düzelen, yayg?n sa? d?külmesi olan bir olguyu sunmay? ama?lad?k.
