“…Although antihypertensive agents typically cause pruritus and rashes, rare instances link them to other forms of alopecia. Mangkorntongsakul et al 10 reported a case of prazosin-induced AA caused by a selective alpha-1-adrenoceptor blocker commonly used for managing hypertension. This study presents the first case of ARNI-induced alopecia universalis, notably absent in other ARNIs such as sacubitril/valsartan.…”

Drug-induced alopecia areata is a rare adverse event wherein medications such as antimicrobials, anticonvulsants, and biologics, trigger the premature transition of actively growing hairs into the telogen phase. Herein, a unique case of alopecia universalis observed during a clinical trial involving sacubitril/alisartan, a novel angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) has been reported. This case contributes to the range of cutaneous reactions that might be observed in association with ARNI therapy.
