For my Lupus I take Plaquenil. My hair is thinning and it freaks me out.Is it safe to use it with Provillus?

Hi





In rare cases a side-effect of antimalarials is hairloss and hair depigmentation. Difficult to say whether lupus or the drugs are the cause, more likely to be lupus as it can cause hair loss.





As far as I could tell provillus is a mineral/vitamin supplement? If so it should be ok to use with plaquenil, but you may be well advised to check with your lupus specialist as we always recommend doing that before taking any supplements with medical drugs.





Hope that helps a bit.
