I have been taking Januvia for a year now and my blood sugars have been great. However I came to this site to see if anyone else has experienced extreme hair loss with Januvia. Since being on the drug I have lost more than half my hair. I had lost over 40 pounds a several months back and been very ill with a bowel infection and the Doc thought the hair loss was due to that. Now I think the bowel infection, the weight loss from that and the hair loss were all due to the Januvia. I was on both Metformin and Januvia until about 3 months ago when the Doc took me off of Metformin due to the fact I had lost so much weight and my sugars were so good. I believe now I will go off the Januvia and try just the Metformin! Calling Doc tomorrow!

Hi. Did you stop taking the Januvia? If so has your hair restored? I am experiencing hair thining as well and what's interesting is that my hair did not begin to thin until I began this drug. I am anxious to hear your reply. thanks in advance
