Is Kenalog related menstrual cycle disruption and hair shedding/loss?

June 5, 2015
Asked By:STHO in London, OH

Hello, In March this year, I experienced hair shedding which has got progressively worse as my kenalog injections continued. Furthermore, my menstrual cycle is now irregular. I am pretty sure that these two issues are related to the kenalog and would like to know how long it takes for the effects to finally leave my system and for my body and hair get back to normal! Thank you.
