Tecfidera and hair loss

Has anyone experienced hair loss with Tecfidera, and what did you do about it? It's not listed as a side effect but I'm convinced it's the cause. I'm on no other medications. Thanks.

Hi there, I have only been on Tec a month and have not experienced anything like that but I have posts on other forums mentioning it. A lot of those people seemed to start taking a supplement called Biotin I think it was called.

I believe it was supposed to strengthen hair and nails but I know nothing about it or how safe it is. Might be worth a discussion with your medical team.

Good luck,
Corrie
