Tasigna and Hair Loss

[Guest guest]

All - thanks for posting on the hair loss. I had terrible hair loss on

Tasigna last year - and I spoke to Novartis about it. (As well as the

tremors I had). They said they were not aware of either issue (which I

find a bit hard to believe). I had a huge bald spot right in the middle

of my scalp. I went back on Gleevec and all of my hair has come back

healthy and thick. So it did grow back. For those of you dealing with

the hair loss - try the hair product Nioxin (shampoo and the scalp

conditioner) It really made a difference for me. (You can purchase it

at most hair salons)

Thanks!

Most sincerely,

Barbara Heathcote
