Small patch Balding on Scalp
Has anyone experienced hair loss on Evenity and taking high doses of Ibuprofen for pain? After my 14 shot of Evenity my hairdresser noticed a bald spot the size of a dime on my scalp. It showed up quickly within one week. Anyone else experienced that. I also have been taking apx. 800 mg of Ibuprofen a day for 10 weeks due to a T12 acute fracture.

I’d never heard of it, but I looked it up. There are many meds on the list, NSAIDS is on it.

3 ReactionsMy hair has been thinning all over since I started. Ack! Evenity is the only new thing, so I 'assume' a correlation.
I am on my 16th dose (with breaks between the 6 months) of Evenity and I have a new small bald spot on my scalp. Never had it before either and Evenity is the only thing I am doing different as well.
I am also getting a rash or breakout small like hive about 10-14 days after my injection, my face even got hot then it subdues..not sure if I should get the 18th dose...
