I read a post on this site that says Diltiazem has been found to cause hair loss. I find only scant reference to this in any of the site searches, and 3 cardiologists and 1 dermatologist thus far tell me that it no link between the drug and hair loss has been established. Can someone tell me where this info is being found? Thanks!
