This question is for a friend. How common is hair loss when treating with Plaquenil? Someone I know doesnt want to take what was prescribed because she read about the eyes and hair problems that can go along w/ Plaquenil.

My hair loss has *decreased* since I've been on Plaquenil because it decreases inflammation for me.
