Entyvio and hair loss

I have been on all different medications for my UC but I can directly correlate my hair loss to the Entyvio, so depressing! I've had 3 doses, it doesn't seem to be working for me yet either. I debating on whether or not to just quit it and try something else instead. I'm afraid the hair loss will only get worse if I stay on it...I wish someone could tell me it will get better even if I stay on it? Was hoping it was the leading doses that caused it but I don't know. This disease stinks I have had it for almost 30 years, I'm so sorry you and your daughter are going through this. Thanks for your reply I appreciate it!

I have UC. I am in the same situation. I was on Lialda for 7 years. Hair was great. It no longer works and I got a flare with my UC. I started Entyvio and had my third dose this week. My hair is thinning. Granted, I have a lot of hair but is this going to subside or will I continue to lose hair until I have none? I still need to shave my legs, etc. so I have hair growth. I need to pull out of my flare so I’m taking the Entyvio but at what cost? DOES ANYONE KNOW if you continue Entyvio will hair loss remain or DOES IT SUBSIDE after the loading doses. THANK YOU FOR ANY INSIGHT! Soooo appreciated!!!

I started losing hair by the bunches after my third treatment, also. It’s very depressing. I constantly have hair on my shirts. It’s everywhere. I’m afraid when I wash my hair and have to comb it out because it’s worse when I do it. Sigh. I started taking biotin.
