I have been on warfarin for a couple years now after suffering a pulmonary embolism.  I have had no issues with losing hair I have read on other boards that it can happen when you first start taking it but the body adjusts,  if you have lost any I doubt you will.  There is a great multivitamin out called clotamin, you can google it, its for people taking warfarin,  its helped me.

Hi,
Hair loss is one of the Warfarin-related side effects. Its incidence would be around 1%. Usually hair loss is mild and temporary. You would regain your lost hair after stopping the medications.
There are lots of other drugs which can cause similar effects of hair loss but these are temporary.
Keep me informed.
Bye.
