Does methotrexate cause hair loss?

Yes, hair thinning is a known side effect because of how the medicine works on fast-growing cells. Usually, we advise patients to take folic acid supplements to help reduce this, but please confirm the exact dose with your doctor first.

It does cause some thinning for some people, but it usually stops once your body gets used to it! Keep your diet super healthy and eat lots of proteins. Sending you positive vibes, you got this! ✨

Yes, it actually can cause hair thinning. My uncle faced this too during his treatment.

I was so stressed about hair fall on this med that I started stress-eating pani puri every day, which didn't help my hair or my stomach! Focus on eating good proteins like paneer or eggs instead of junk, it really helps the roots stay strong.

Hair loss can happen, but please don't stop the medicine on your own because of it. Go back to your rheumatologist or doctor and report the hair fall immediately so they can adjust the dosage or add protective supplements safely.

Don't start applying random onion juices or oils that people recommend online for this. Methotrexate is a strong medicine, so any hair issue should be directly discussed with your prescribing doctor rather than trying WhatsApp remedies.
