Is hair loss a side effect of Tecfidera?

Hey guys! I have started Tecfidera for a week now, which has been all good so far. As I am starting my 240 dose now, I was reading the leaflet and saw that hair loss was a potential side effect. It really scared me because my hair is a big part of my identity, and my doctor never mentioned that as a common side effect. Did any of you guys experience this? If yes, how bad was it? Thank you :)

This is interesting as I didn't know that was a side effect either! I have thick long hair. I've been taking the meds for a couple of months and can't say I have noticed hair loss.
