Guest guest Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Sorry but yes, arava can cause alopecia. I'm on 10 mgs per day. I don't know if it is better than mtx though. Hugs..a My GP told me that Arava is better than MTX. Does anyone take it ? Does it cause hair loss as well ? Thanks again...

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Mine has thinned a lot but nothing too bad. I don't know what I would do without the arava. Seems to be the only med I can handle.
