I’m actually taking the Olumiant. I have been on it since late September. I only pay 5 dollars with my insurance for a 30 day supply and that is with Olumiant discount card from the company. You can go on the their website to see if you are eligible for the discount. I have noticed I have more hair, eyelashes, and other areas. I have little side effects, mostly tired. My dermatologist does test to make sure everything is alright. Which it has been. If I don’t see any more significant hair growth, I will discontinue it.

empathize and worry about health risks. I have concerns with, in addition, The costs -an article I found said was around $2400 monthly and when i look goodrx says $3500!!! For a month. Longer term also be good know, spend thousands with dermatologist on cortisone shots, creams etc and hairloss came back. It also appears maybe tricky to get. But one may through Rhematologist. I'll ask derm/dr next visit. And keep researching. Links I found so far how to get ino and coststtps://www.biopharmadive.com/news/lilly-fda-approval-alopecia-

I agree Margaret, I’m 66 and as much as I want my hair back, not sure the risk vs benefit is worth it. These type of drugs lower your immune system to work. This seems to open you up to dangerous infections and illnesses. I understand these types of drugs may be the only hope for hair regrowth, at least right now. Always praying for a safe cure.
