Will Hair Lost Due To Methotrexate Grow If Calcium Is Taken With It?
I have been on Methotrexate for 5 years and the last 8 months hav e noticed signifecant hair loss. My eyebrows disappered about four years ago. When I initially started the MTX I was perscribed Leucovorin calcium for three months only. If I start taking it again will my hair grow back?

Thank you for the question.
You have not mentioned the condition for which you have been prescribed methotrexate leucovorin . starting Lecovorin calcium might help in regaining hair .
Balanced diet, regular exercise/yoga and stress free lifestyle needs to be adopted for good hair growth. Your medical condition itself might be the cause for hair loss. so further evaluation would be required.
