Pounds aren't the only thing some people are shedding on weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. In social media groups, users are reporting that they've experienced hair loss while taking semaglutide, better known by the brand names Ozempic and Wegovy. The same goes for tirzepatide, which is sold under the name Mounjaro. “Hair loss is unlikely related to the drugs, but more likely related to weight loss that is a result of these drugs," a doctor at UCLA told NBC News. Hair loss can be a rare side effect, and most of it is temporary, one dermatologist told NBC News. "There is generally a three-month lag after weight loss stops, when you hit that plateau, that the shedding will slowly start to dissipate and hair will start to grow back,” she said. |
