Hi there! @rachel5239

I experienced hair loss with pograf. The hair loss was quite significant. I asked to be switched to the tacrolimus and it is less significant now. I use Rogaine foam for women . The generic Rogaine does not work as fast or as well. It helps to keep what I have. I use it every day. When I first experienced the hair loss early on, I bought hair toppers (wigs for top only) from amazon. I began wearing these mostly until I had enough hair of my own to cover. It has not grown in much since I started the treatment late, but it works great. I am also on a very low dose of Imuran and do not have hair loss with it. Hope this helps. I stopped the prograf.

@jlferro1 I forgot to mention, that I am on tacrolimus. The hair loss is due to the fact that these meds are chemo drugs. Thus the hair loss. Use Rogaine foam for women. It really works.
