Brinsupri follow-up

I was on Brinsupri for less than 2 months and my hair started falling out. Hair loss is one of the listed side effects. Has this happened to anyone else?

@jassa Sorry to hear that's happening to you. In clinical trial data alopecia was reported: roughly 1.5–1.6% of patients on Brinsupri experienced it, versus 0.4% in the placebo group.

Curious how much hair loss are you experiencing? Most people lose 50–100 hairs per day under normal circumstances. Other factors can influence hair loss also such as stress, illness, hormones, aging, coloring etc.

@jassa I reported a couple weeks ago that my hair seemed a lot more brittle since I started taking it on 10/4. Well, since then it's gotten noticeably thinner and my eyebrows are also showing signs of thinning. I've recently started having some minor gum irritation as well. I'm not really willing to continue taking it if this is happening so soon after starting it.
