Niraparib question

[Ova-whelmed]

Does anyone was taking Niraparib know if it's ok to have your hair dyed? Now I actually have hair I like I don't fancy it turning green!

Hi Ova-whelmed, I don't know about Niraparib but I'm taking Olaparib which is fairly similar and I have had highlights a few times and it has been fine 🙂 xx

Thank you Kjpip, green really isn't my colour!xxx

Hi Ova-whelmed,

I carried on dying my hair but with a semi-perminant dye.

I didn't have any issues.

Good luck x

Hi, I am on Niraparib since January & I have dyed my hair a couple of times since starting on it. It didnt do any harm to my hair. Makes me feel alot better than watching the grey bits appear. Hope it makes you feel better too. Good luck X
