RA Drugs causing hair loss

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Oklahoma City, OK

I’m on MTX along with folic acid. I’m 3 months in on Enbrel. Both can cause thinning of hair. My ponytail is getting thinner and thinner. Do all RA drugs cause hair loss/thinning?

I think methotrexate is the the worst for that, but add biotin 10000 daily. It helps with hair loss.

I stopped methotrexate a few months ago and just noticed baby hairs growing in…thank goodness.
