I presented your question to my husband who is a gastroenterologist and familiar with Lialda. Alopecia is a rarely experienced side effect. About 1% of individuals who take this drug will lose their hair.
This link http://www.drugcite.com/indi/?q=Lialda&i=ALOPECIA will direct you to a page on the website, DRUGCITE, which shows the results related to Lialda and alopecia from the FDA Adverse Event Report.
If your hair loss is drug induced, it should grow back once you stop taking the medication. If you stop taking Lialda and your hair does not grow back, then other causes of alopecia must be looked at.
