[Hair loss during treatment with oral contraceptives].
Oral contraceptives with a dominant androgen component can cause or worsen androgen-dependent alopecia in women.  This diagnosis can only be made if other causes of alopecia (which can occur at the same time as treatment with oral contraceptives) have been excluded.  The patient's endocrine profile must be investigated sometimes, this being in order to detect any excess production of androgens.  These types of alopecia call for the stopping of the oral contraceptive and sometimes also calls for oral anti-antigen treatment.
