Cosentyx And Hair Loss
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I will be starting my monthly injections this week. Did my 5 weeks than waited the month. The last week and a half I have been cleaning my brush out daily (full of hair). My scalp plaques are all but gone just like a light dandruff so I'm thinking that it's more likely to be from the Cosentyx rather than clogged hair follicles. Has anyone else had this happen?
Otherwise my skin has been clearing amazingly

Yes, it has been known to cause hair loss, in some people that take it, in aftermarket reports, according to the FDA. You are definitely not the first person to notice such an issue while taking it. Other side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, infections, and an increase in the outbreaks of cold sores. NDC code: 00078-0639

Has anyone experienced hair loss on Cosentyx? Can anyone post back with their own experiences?
