Abstract: | We aimed to systematically review published cases of alopecia (hair loss) associated with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Four electronic databases were searched up to November 16, 2021. Thirty-eight publications describing 71 patients with a total of 81 episodes of alopecia met inclusion criteria. Patients’ age ranged from 7 to 85 years and 80.3% were female. Alopecia most commonly affected scalp (98.6%). Reported time to onset ranged from 3 days to 5 years (median: 8.6 weeks). Discontinuation of the suspected SSRI led to recovery in 63.0% of episodes. Clinicians should be aware of this possible adverse effect of SSRIs. |
