Can Leflunomide Result In Hair Loss?

I am using Leflunomide and I am losing my hair so fast that is scary. I was curious about how fast that happens that it brought to my attention and I was reading the side effect looking for some information and I found that is one of the more common side effect. I am desperate !!!! I had a very long and voluminous hair and now I barely have hair.
