I experienced hair loss while taking Ofev.
I was on Ofev for about 6 months when multiple side effects showed up. I was willing to tough it out but my pulmonologist said no.
I am male, and have a healthy amount of hair. My hair is straight. No one in my family has suffered baldness going back to both grandparents.
I first noticed the hair loss while combing my hair. It started a couple of months after I started taking Ofev. It quickly escalated to where my comb gathered alarming amounts. I never saw any hair on my pillows or shirts.
I started researching hair loss products like Rogain and quickly realized that the active ingredient in most products was minoxidil. The prices varied. I ended up getting Equate Minoxidil Hair Regrowth Treatment for Men at Walmart. It definitely helped.
At that time my scalp was beginning to show thru the thinning hair around the crown area. Minoxidil stopped the hair loss. About this time I stopped the Ofev. I got sloppy about applying the minoxidil on a regular schedule after about two weeks. I never finished the full treatment regimen of minoxidil.
Today all of my hair is back and all is well. It’s been around two years since I stopped Ofev and Minoxidil treatments. I would say it took about a year to regain all of my hair.
