Hi! I’m 39 years old and I’m taking Avonex for multiple sclerosis. I started to take it four months ago. I was generally satisfied with this medication but recently I noticed that I started to lose my hair. I don’t know now why that is happening. Is my hair loss a side effect of Avonex or something else?

I’m also taking Avonex but I don’t have that kind of problem like you. It can be side effect of Avonex. I remember that I read something about this on internet. Some researches showed that hair loss may be a possible Avonex side effect and that four percent of people who taking Avonex have that problem.
