Hi All

Cesaed Fragmin injections on 15th September then one week ago my hair started falling out.  Shocked!  It says in the medications notes that hair loss is a side effect when taking fragmin not a withdrawal symptom after stopping it.  Gas anyone out there experienced this?  Also, my head & feet burn and my skin itches.

Waiting for a doctors appointment to see if i can get some answers.  

The main one being will my hair grow back.

Thanks for reading.

Christine

    Good luck with doctor visit although I have no clue what the fragmin injection is for. My wife would probably want me to get them if they would make the hair on, around and in my ears fall out even if temporary lol.

    Hi Christine!

    Hopefully the Doc will let you know what's happening, but I'm clueless as to what Fragmin injections even are.question  I'm thinking though that all these little 'dittys' are only temporary, at least that's the hope!
