Has anyone deal with hair loss from Tecfidera? I'm losing a lot daily and have switched shampoos and that's not helping. It's the only medication I'm on. Any suggestions?
I was on it for 4 years. No hair loss. I stopped in October due to sudden nonstop itching. Woke uo in middle of the night itching all over. Lasted months. Immunologists and dermatologist couldnt find out why. Stopped Tecfidera & it stopped. It took a few months to get out of my system. I wish it didnt happen. It was the easiest regimen.
I have been on tecfidera for about a year and I havent noticed any increased hair loss. You could try biotin or keratin supplements for healthier hair and increased growth?
Hair thinning can be a side effect of some MS medications, including disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) like Tecfidera (dimethyl fumarate). This type of hair loss is usually temporary. If you are experiencing significant hair loss, it is important to speak with your doctor to determine the cause and find the best way to Show Full Answer
I took Techfidera years ago. But no hair loss. I am currently with no lesions over 12 years. I have hair loss for two years. My doctor who has had chemotherapy suggested Biotin tablets OTC and Biotin Shampoo and Conditioner. It is helping.
I took it many years no hair loss. But sometimes it is related to diet. Talk to your doctor to get blood tests etc
