Probability of hair loss with Sinemet, levodopa?

Question

ok i am a 17 year old male and i have cp and i have been looking into levodopa as a bit of a window to allow me to make my legs stronger i was only looking to take it for a year or a little more to help prevent the side effect of the ticks but the hair loss side effect has me a bit scared i was was wondering the probability of hair loss with the amount of time you take it and if after you stop taking it will it grow back?

Answer 1

well, for starters, those side effects are rare but increase the probability increases more after every year but don't worry, it rarely happens and hardly any hair loss happens after you have stop....for more questions ask your doctor ^_^
