Does rinvoq cause hair loss?
My doctor recently prescribed Rinvoq for my autoimmune condition, and I'm just starting it. I've heard some medications can cause hair fall, and I'm quite worried about that. Is hair loss a common side effect of Rinvoq?

Sometimes strong medications can cause temporary hair thinning due to stress on the system. Doing gentle head-down yoga poses like Adho Mukha Svanasana and light scalp massage helps improve blood circulation naturally.

I have been taking Rinvoq for my joint pain for the last eight months and fortunately, I haven't noticed any major hair fall. My doctor did say everyone reacts differently to immunosuppressants, though.

It is a very strong medicine, so it can make the body weak and cause hair to fall. Try eating soaked almonds and drinking amla juice daily, it helps give strength to the hair roots from inside.

Yes, hair thinning can be a side effect for some people on Rinvoq. I noticed some extra hair on my comb during the first two months, but it settled down after a while. Just discuss it with your skin specialist if it gets too bad.
