    hair loss with Aubagio



    I'm experiencing quite alot of hair loss with this Aubagio. It's very upsetting how much I'm losing. I had this same problem when I was on Avonex but I was much younger than and my hair did come back at some point. But I'm worried now that I am much older my hair won't come back. anyone else have extreme hair loss?

    I've lost some hair but not a lot (yet). The Aubagio site discusses this problem and they believe that hair growth will return to normal in a few months. I also had this problem with Copaxone. My former neuro said to try some kind of hear regrowth treatment if it gets too bad.

      I was in the clinical trial for 5 years. I had thick hair and was constantly shedding. I finally stopped taking it because My ms continued to progress and I was afraid I would be bald. I have been off it for 4 years now and my hair is just starting to thicken up, although it is not as thick as it once was. I have not taken any other DMT.

      I was also told that my hair would return to normal once I stopped so I think we are all different. I have also heard that for some people the hair loss is only temporary so I hope you fall into that group.

        My post should say hair regrowth treatment not hear regrowth. I don't think we need extra ears!

          extreme hair loss

          even though i've stopped Aubagio, I'm still having the hair loss. Do you think I will need to have that "flush out" treatment to get this medicine out of me so the hair loss will stop! So upsetting a handful everytime I wash my hair (I've tried different shampoos to make sure that's not a factor), and alot whenever I comb it too. My hair was gorgeous!...

            Biotin

            Hello everyone,

            I want you all to know I really feel for you. I am on Rebif and have a hyper-active thyroid. Had a ton of hair and throught the years lost a ton. I was told from my new hairstylist four months ago about Biotin. WOW....it has really helped. I take 10,000 mcgs and started out at 5000. There is hair coming in....not mounds but what a difference it has made. It's also helped with my rigid nails and helped my vitamin B go to a great level. There is also Biotin Shampoo and Conditioner and when I take a shower there's not NEAR the hair in the drain that once was. I always pipe in when I see something about hair loss. I'm going into my 5th month. If you give it a try don't expect a miracle the first month. Everybody's different. I just wanted to share this information to you because I know how devastating it is. The name of the shampoo and conditioner is thick &full biotin &collagen. It runs around $6.95 each. I get mine at Shop-Ko.

            If you try it I wish you my best.....

                How long?

                How long were any of you taking Aubagio before you noticed hair loss? I'm in the middle of month 3 and haven't.

                  Yes, I have been on Aubagio for 6 months and in the last month or so I have lost so much hair! I'm very concerned. My neurologist put me on Biotin 100 mg. I hope it works.
