I e been on this new drug called Leflunomide for 4 weeks and it’s making my hair fall out rapidly. Has anyone had the same issue? And any great advice on supplements I can take to stop it continuing 🙏

Hi I was on it arava for 6 months. I stopped taking it during the summer because of hair loss and horrible stomach issues. When I told my rheum that I stopped he didn't pass any remarks. Just said it dosent agree with a lot of people

I have had no side effects from Methotrexate but haven't had much relief either

I've had similar issues with methotrexate and both are dmards. I swapped to leflunamide for a few and had no issues with it

Defo start injections. It might a few different types to find the right one but they are essential to halt the progression of AS.

Thank you. I’m thinking the same. My rheumatologist wants me to go onto hamaria. I’m unsure
