A female relative had a mild case of shingles and was prescribed oral suspension zovirax. However, a side effect of taking this drug has been a very significant loss of hair. She has, under medical advice, ceased taking the drug, but the hair loss continues. I'm wondering has anyone had a similar experience with this drug…

I'm wondering has anyone had a similar experience with this drug and if so, how long did the hairloss continue?
