I was recently diagnosed with relapsing polychondritis and was put on a prednisone, methotrexate, folic acid cocktail . I am currently taking 6 pills , 2.5 mg each, once per week. I was told I could loose my hair . Reading through forums, I see that some people do loose most their hair, some loose none depending on the dosage. They refer to it as high dose . Compared to my dosage, will I loose my hair and how soon will it start?
Himethotrexate has effect on hair follicle and that lead to hair loss hair loss start after 3-4 month of therapy and continue after 8 months of stopping Chat Doctor. U have low chance of severe hair fall
