Q: Which anti-hypertensive medicine do not cause hair loss as its side effect?

A:There are many anti-hypertensives and are prescribed based on the sex, age, BP readings, other concurrent disorders, etc. of the patient. A drug, which is otherwise not appropriate, can not be given to a patient simply because its side effect does not include hair loss.
