A member asked:

I am experiencing excessive hairloss. i am on ravalef and one of its side effects is hairloss. is it the reason for my hairloss? do i need to consult a doctor? or is there something i can do to make my hair grow back?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You need a consult: There is no much evidence on leflonamide and reversible Hais loss, but the few documents on this say that to avoid Permanent hair loss, is adequate to suspend and Changue leflonamide for another drug, so see it with you rheumatologist.
