Does RA medications cause hair loss?
Hi! I was on Plaquenil for 8 weeks and I lost a good amount of my hair. Once I stopped it, the hair loss stopped too. Please tell me it grows back?
Not yet, but I am hoping!
Lovecats,
Thanks for asking this question in our Q&A. While side effects can vary from person to person, I hope others will chime in and offer you some support, and personal experience with Plaquenil. Have you spoken to your Dr about these side effects?
