Hello @A myRAteam Member, that was the reason I was taken off Methotrexate. I believe it is a common side effect. Good luck.

Happened to me also. Try a shampoo & conditioner with Biotin in them AND take Biotin as a supplement.

They state do not take Folic Acid on same day as MTX but take every other day.
1. BIOTIN
2.COLLEGAN can be a shake or gel or tablet ,
3. Folic acid get tested are you getting enough?
This take a few weeks. By this i say allow 2months to see positive results.
Mtx does change the hair but if severe please speak to your Dr as it should subside . Hope it helps. Good luck joan
