The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has started a review of two medicines that are used, among other things, against hair loss, the Swedish Medicines Agency states in a press release.
The reason is that suicidal thoughts and self-harming behavior are suspected to be possible side effects of the drugs.
Psychiatric side effects, such as depression, are already known risks for the drugs.
