It seems that weight isn’t the only thing being lost by people using diabetes drugs.
An increasing number of people are also reporting hair loss, with up to 6 per cent of people experiencing the phenomenon.
Apparently there is no itching or pain, but people are running their hand through their hair and coming away with clumps.
The drugs Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro were originally intended for people with type two diabetes, but have become popular with people wanting to lose weight. In some cases this has created shortages for people who medically need it.
The drug manufacturers state the hair loss is generally short-lived. Generally.
It’s being proposed that the hair loss is in fact related to the weight loss instead, which is a common side effect of dramatic weight loss.
Would you consider taking a diabetes drug for weight loss? Have you experienced hair loss after dieting?
