Who's on Aubagio and how is it working?

Aubagio (teriflunomide) is a disease-modifying therapy used to treat relapsing MS. Many members have experiences with this medication, though individual results vary.

Common experiences with Aubagio include:

- Hair thinning affects about 10-14% of people taking it, though it's usually not severe and temporary
- The hair thinning typically starts around month three and lasts only a couple of months
- Most people find the thinning isn't noticeable to others

A MyMSTeam member shared: "I'm on Aubagio and have been for two years. I did have some hair thinning, but not so that anyone could notice. It only lasted a couple months."

Other potential side effects reported include:

- Diarrhea
- Headaches
- Hair thinning

The good news is that when hair thinning occurs, it usually doesn't require stopping the medication.

Since everyone responds differently to MS treatments, it's important to partner with your healthcare provider to monitor how Aubagio is working for you and manage any side effects that arise.
