Does mesalamine cause hair loss?

Hair thinning is actually listed as a rare side effect of mesalamine. I always consult senior doctors at Max Hospital for my colitis treatment, and they told me that sometimes the disease flare-up itself or nutritional deficiencies cause hair loss rather than the medicine. You should ask your specialist to run some blood tests to be sure.

While you discuss this with your doctor, try incorporating gentle scalp massages with coconut oil and practicing pranayama like Kapalbhati. It improves blood circulation to the hair roots. Often, the stress of chronic illness causes more hair fall than the actual medicine, so keep your mind calm.

Haan, thoda hair fall toh ho sakta hai, standard side effect hai iska. But apney aap medicine band mat karna na, colitis fir se badd jayega. Apne doctor se baat karo, woh koi vitamin supplement likh denge iske liye.

I noticed some hair thinning when I started mesalamine too, and I was so worried. But my doctor assured me it is usually temporary. I started taking biotin and multivitamin supplements after asking my doctor, and my hair fall slowly got much better.
