Hi all,

I am experiencing major hair loss over here. Whenever I brush it, and especially after I wash it, handfuls of hair are coming out. I have long hair, thank goodness its thick, but I am starting to get worried. I am taking 8 tabs asacol a day. Could this be the culprit? I am not on pred at this time.

Has anyone experienced this with asacol??
 
I haven't been on Asacol, but Pentasa is the same drug, and I haven't experienced any hair loss from it. Not sure if it is a listed side effect though.

My hair did break very easily when I was first ill, probably due to anaemia and vitamin deficiencies. Have you had your blood checked recently?
