"Pfizer could acquire the company for the patents and then never manufacture the patented drugs to prevent competition to their Xeljanz drug. There was a hopeful treatment for autoimmune diseases (including alopecias) many years ago wherein the…"

"Thank you for your response. It makes me so sad that I am now in a worse state of hair loss than ever before. I thought this had come under control once I started seeing Xeljanz work. "
"Hello and yes even with Xeljanz hair can come and go. It can really work for a while and then it can fall out with little notice. The person I know that was taking it was up to 15 mg per day without any bad reactions, but the hair was not coming…"
"I agree with you Sabine - it is NOT cosmetic - it is an organ (many small organs). If any other organ was failing, there would be an intervention. Losing hair from an alopecia is a signal something is not right. A body…"

"I was previously on tofacitinib (the brand from Pfizer, 11mg XR), it took 5 months, but I grew hair back and it stopped my inflammation/hair loss. Things were getting back to normal! I felt good! It felt like a miracle. No side…"
