Prednisolone (the active substance in Alpicort) is a steroid anti-inflammatory drug that is used to treat various autoimmune diseases, inflammations and allergies. However, it is not commonly used to treat telogen alopecia. Telogen alopecia is a type of hair loss in which a significant number of hairs go into a resting phase (telogen) and fall out as a result. The most common causes of this type of baldness are stress, nutrient deficiency, diseases, hormonal changes, pregnancy, operations or certain medications. The treatment of telogen alopecia usually focuses on identifying and treating the underlying cause, rather than the use of steroids like prednisolone. If you have problems with hair loss, it is definitely worth consulting a doctor, preferably a dermatologist, who will be able to diagnose the cause and recommend an appropriate treatment plan.
