title: Investigating drug induced alopecia.
abstract: The propensity of cytotoxic drugs to cause alopecia is well known, but nurses are perhaps less aware of the capacity of other drug groups to cause this unwanted side-effect. Increasing nurses' awareness of the actions of these drugs will enable the association between alopecia and toxicity to be recognised at an early stage, before the distressing effects of drug-induced alopecia develop.
