I used to take Remicade and it did well for me. I did not notice any hair loss, but, have read that if you pull hard on hair, like maybe for a slick pony tail, can cause hair loss. Barretts, ponytails, or any thing that pulls hair tight can cause hair loss. Just an idea...
Well I've been on Remicade for a year now but I have ulcer colitis my hair was getting thin before I started take remicade because of lack of nutrition. But when I started remicade it started coming out even more thank God I have a lot! But Yes. Just try to keep it condition much as possible.
