Help! The meds are destroying my hair

I'm at my wits end. I've been an Imuran for a while now and besides the usual side effects my hair is now horribly coarse and brittle. No amount of using fancy hair products, cutting it or a change in my diet seems to help. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to help revive my hair before I'm bald???

I don't know anything about this drug..Have you asked your doctor about this? I didn't know that doctor's were giving out drugs that were "This" strong for MG, so I'm kind of out of the loop. Hope you find someone in the group that can help you

I don't have an answer about the hair changes but I did a lot of research on the MG drugs. You can find out more about this drug (also known as azathioprine) by googling the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists AHFS- Consumer Medical Information on azathioprine. You can also type in "azathioprine" under topics on the PubMed website. Thanks. Sarah
