Hair loss with Imraldi

B

After a bad flare up towards the end of last year, my partner was put on Adlimumab (Imraldi). She was previously on Humira and had minimal side effects.

Other than the fact it’s now very painful to perform the injection, we thought there were no adverse effects at all...however, she has now started to lose her hair quite rapidly.

She has contacted the IBD team and had bloods taken in preparation but the appointment is still a few weeks away.

Has anybody else experienced this on Imraldi and does anyone know of a way to prevent the hair loss?

Thanks in advance

Even though it isn't documented as a side effect that I'm aware of, I've noticed my hair thinning some since I started Humira. At first, I thought it was just the onset of middle age, but there may be a possible correlation.
