        Hi, I'm a liver cancer patient on a clinical trial of Opdivo (guessing I got the real deal because of some other symptoms that have been reported). I googled it to see if hair loss was also a symptom, because I've had fine but thick hair my whole life, and after my 2nd infusion, I noticed a lot more fallout during showers. 

        I found this:

        Any skin change, irritation, itching or rash
        Very bad muscle or weakness
        Very bad joint pain
        Swelling in the arms or legs
        Signs of trouble with your thyroid or pituitary gland (change in mood or the way you act, change in weight, constipation, dizziness, deeper voice, feeling cold, fainting, hair loss, feeling very tired, headache or loss of sex drive)

        Make sure your providers are watching your thyroid and pituitary function like a hawk. I have had some vicious itching with no rash and the very slight hair loss. Looks alarming in my hand but I can't tell the difference for sure on my head yet unless I pull it into a ponytail, which is smaller.

        Best of luck to you!
