    I've been on Symbicort for 18 months and I think it's responsible for my hair loss. I've discontinued Symbicort (with my Dr's help) and I really hope my hair grows back. My hairline has receded and my hair is very thin on top. This has happened i the - 53% more...

    This sounds very familiar. I started Symbicort in January and I would say I have lost at least 1/3 of my hair since. It falls out every time I brush / wash it. I thought it was maybe because we moved house but as time goes on and it continues to fall - 46% more...

    Balding since using Symbicort
    I have used Symbicort for only 6 months and am balding. My hair is falling out by the handfuls. What ever component you have in the medicine needs to be removed. Sad this medicine really did help.
