Has anyone suffered hair loss or had regrowth whilst on Fasenra?

Thanks Patk1.Not yet. Hospital are considering changing my meds to fasenra. I've suffered some hair loss on Nucala and don't want the same thing to happen if I'm changed to Fasenra. I note the pharmaceutical companies don't mention hair loss as a potential side effect for either of these meds.

Hi

I have suffered hair loss on both Fasenra and Dupixent..

I think there have been others on this forum that have also had similar problems.

It might be worth looking at some older posts maybe?

😊

You can report side effects on " yellow card scheme". I've suffered hair loss at times since sepsis few yrs ago.i do take supplements but have found the 1 that helps the most is high dose vitamin C.x

Thanks very much 🙂

Thanks pipsqueak 77.Did your hair loss ease up as time went on or was it continous?

I'll look up previous posts as suggested.

Hi

I would say it’s continuous but it’s not too bad… I don’t have big clumps of hair missing!

I just notice it when I wash my hair - more seems to fall out. No-one other than me would notice.

I know this is a side effect… I thought it was listed tbh?? However if youve been offered a biologic for your asthma I wouldn’t turn it down… in the majority of cases they are life changing..and many people who would like to try them are not eligible.

Don’t let the idea of a bit of hair loss put you off.

Good luck😊
