I lost most of my hair after about 3 months into my remicade trearments but the doctor said it wasnt from the medicine but that sometimes after being really sick and having severe weight loss and malnutrition you hair will fall out when you start getting better. I have been on remicade for three years now and all of my hair grew back and i havnt lost any since. For me the remicade is a miracle drug it works so well but ive gained about 70lbs and dont seem to have any control over it. I have read studies that say that severe weight gain is typical so be very careful.
