my 40 year old daughter has been on comadin for about 20 years. her hair gets thinner & thinner.she is overweight & has drug & Alcohol problems plus Mental problems too. sometimes she does very good but acourse she falls off the wagon. if the newer blood thinner do not cause hair thinning, this might be something to help her feel better about herself.
Do the newer blood thinners cause hair loss?

Some blood thinners can cause hair loss but it is not common. Even coumadin is an uncommon cause of hair loss. I would advise seeing a dermatologist or physician knowledgable about drug induced hair to determine exactly how much coumadin could be involved.
