Will taking ixazomib cause hair loss?

Ixazomib is an oral targeted therapy anticancer drug that is used in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone to treat multiple myeloma (MM). Clinical trials have shown that ixazomib is more effective than the experimental drug in treating multiple myeloma, slowing the progression of the disease longer than other treatment groups.

Ixazomib may cause some hair-related side effects, including hair thinning or hair loss. This is due to the effects of ixazomib on the body, which may interfere with the hair growth cycle. However, not everyone will experience these side effects, and dosage and individual differences may also affect the severity of the side effects. If a patient is taking ixazomib and notices hair loss or thinning, it is recommended to discuss this issue with a doctor or professional. They can assess a patient's specific situation and provide relevant recommendations or management options. In some cases, your doctor may recommend changing medications or taking other steps to lessen hair-related side effects.
