Enbrel

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Sydney, AU

Has anyone experienced hair loss on enbrel and how do you over come it? I'm not sure if I should continue with the drug assuming that my body will adjust so my hair will stop falling out? I initially had bad skin reactions but they have stopped now after about 4 shots. I'm on my 8th shot now...

Initially I had hair loss with Enbrel but after a few months (I think about 8+) and the hair loss stopped.

I've had the same reaction. I've mentioned it to the rheumatolgist but they don't seem to be concerned. They are switching me to Humira, though. I'm hoping for something different. If you are having less flare-ups on Enbrel than I guess hair loss is minor to some. I have been taking biotin and I've been using a shampoo and conditioner for hair loss.
