When I took the Aromasin, I did not experience hair loss. I have been taking Exemestane for 6 months, my hair has always been thick but now I'm losing it. Can switching from the brand to the generic have caused my thinning hair? This started when my insurance company switched my medication to the cheaper generic form.

Hi! And thank you for your comment. I know the Aromasin is brand and Exemestane is the generic, but my problem didn't happen when I took the Aromasin. When my insurance switched me to the generic Exemestane is when this problem started. I know both have the Alopecia side effects, but am wondering if the switch is what caused it. I had been on the Aromasin for 2+ years and never had this problem. I have experienced other side effects when I started this medication as well.
