Does enbrel cause hair loss?

I've just started taking Enbrel for my rheumatoid arthritis, and I'm a bit concerned about the side effects. My hair seems to be thinning a bit more than usual lately. Does Enbrel cause hair loss?

Ji haan, is davai se thode baal jhad sakte hain. Lekin aap chinta mat kijiye, aap apne doctor se iske baare mein baat karein, wo koi achha tel ya nuskha bata denge.

My roommate is on Enbrel and he did complain about his hair thinning out a bit after a few months. It's a bummer, but he said it's still better than the joint pain he had before.

Yes, hair loss is a known but less common side effect of Enbrel. Many people do experience some thinning.

It can cause minor hair thinning for a few people, but it usually stops after some time! 😊 Try eating healthy proteins and consult your doctor! 👍
