(Newest replies first)

Hi, Can someone please help me? i have been on clinical trials of Ruxo for 8 weeks now... i am the 1st of my kind to be put on this drug who has multiple auto-immune diseases and a mutation in my genes. I was put in this drug to try correct alopecia and it has been a great success. Not only has this drug helped me with my hair loss but has also help with my general health. my only issue is my menstrual cycle has stopped and i'm trying to find out if it is connected to these medication or just a coincidence? Many thanks in advance

It is not usually concerning to miss one period, as I was hinting at above, there can be many reasons to miss one. I also forgot to mention stress. I agree with your consultant because after 2 weeks with sign, you would be working on missing your second period. If you miss two periods, don't panic, but it would be a good idea to see a doctor incase it is something more serious.

You would need much more detailed information. Age? Recent hormone changes/starting and stopping birth control or other medications? Recently lose/gain alot of weight? How regular is your cycle normally? are you pregnant?
