Now it’s important that if you do notice that you are losing your hair around the same time starting on a new medication, it would be best to talk to your doctor and find out if hair loss is one of the known side effects of the medication or drug that you are taking.
Medications that cause hairloss as a side effect are not all known and the above list is not fully complete as new drugs and medications are launched every day. If you feel that your new medicine is causing you hairloss, again, contact your doctor or visit your local pharmacy and talk to someone there. In nearly each and every single case, your hair will grow back so this is not something that you need to be alarmed about. But again, talk to someone about the specific medication you are on that is causing hair loss.

Under Hair Loss
Hair loss is more common in men than it is in women. Approximately 50% of men experience a form of hair loss, while this is only 40% for women.
For men it begins with a receeding hair line, and then loss of hair until hair remains on the sides of the head and on the top of the head. For women it is a bit different, hair more commonly tends to thin all over instead of losing it altogether in patches.
There are surgical restoration procedures such as hair transplant surgery, or non surgical methods such as prescribed pills.
Surgical methods may be the best for both men and women, methods of which are explained in further detail on this site.

Under Hair Transplant Surgery
You need to be aware of the possible side effects that you may encounter after your hair loss treatment. Hair thinning is a common side effect after the treatment, which is also known as shock loss. Bald patches are also common, fifty to a hundred hairs can be lost each day!
After a couple of months you should start to notice the new hair growing, but bare in mind it may be thin. This is because you are not getting more hair, just relocated hair.
Other side effects include swelling of several possible areas such as the scalp and forehead. If this becomes uncomfortable, you can ask for medication from your doctor to ease the swelling. Also be careful if your scalp starts to itch, itching it will only make it worse and cause scabs to form. You can use a moisturiser or massage shampoo in to relieve the itching.
