Brief Answer:
Hair thinning associated with aubagio

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same .
Now your concern is regarding hair thinning associated with the use of drug aubagio.
It is a known fact that 10 to 15% of patients on aubagio experience thinning of the hair. But the good thing is that for most of these patients, hair thinning is mild and usually improved after about 6 months on aubagio .Also in many patients, hair growth almost always returns to its usual cycle within a few months on aubagio .
So I would advise you not to worry too much about this side effect of this very important drug since hair thinning caused by this drug is temporary and reversible in nature.
