Sorry I hit enter too soon on the previous post. I am just popping in to mention the very relevant fact that Theophylline can cause alopecia, and probably caused mine when I took Cipro with it back in '94. Just putting that into words. Please comment if you think Theophylline could have caused alopecia in a case that you know of, be it yourself or someone else. This medication was given to me for asthma and it helped, but had such repercussions.
