Most people who use Litfulo do not experience any adverse side effects. Doctors prescribe this medication because they assess the benefits of such treatment outweigh any likely unwanted effects.
Some of the side effects that have been reported include upper respiratory tract infections, headache, nasopharyngitis, and diarrhea, which are generally mild to moderate in intensity.
Due to immune modulation, there is also a risk of more serious infections, such as pneumonia or tuberculosis.
Not all side effects are listed here. If these or other unlisted symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare provider or pharmacist.
Litfulo is approved for severe alopecia areata in individuals aged 12 years and older. In this autoimmune disorder, the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, resulting in sudden hair loss on the scalp, face, eyebrows, eyelashes, or other body parts. By reducing key inflammatory enzymes around the follicles, Litfulo helps restore hair growth and improve hair density. Treatment should occur under specialist medical supervision to monitor response and manage potential effects.
