Hello,

I started on a very low dose of Imuran over the summer. My doctor told me that it takes 8-12 weeks for the drug to fully get into your system. Around October, I started losing hair. I am continuing to lose hair at a rate that is making me really nervous. My doctor has said that the hair loss typically slows down after a few months but it can sometimes be a problem. I'm wondering if anyone else out there has experienced hair loss with Imuran and how long it lasted? Did anyone have to stop the drug because of the hair loss? Thanks so much for the feedback!!

One of my family member was going through less hair loss. Common side effects of Imuran include upset stomach, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, hair loss, or skin rash.I was searching through the old posts and I know this has been discussed before but I would like to bring it up again. I know that hair loss is a side effect of imuran.Doctor increased dose and they started losing hair in little chunks in the shower and brushing  hair while its still wet.Since there was something in the blood test that made him increase it to begin with. Finally we tried braid oil which was suggested by my friend that we need to purchase online.Really not much but braid oil had helped them a lot.
