Do Ozempic and Wegovy really cause hair loss?

Weight Loss Medications Ozempic and Wegovy Linked to Hair Loss

The utilization of weight loss medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy has surged in popularity across the Western world. As increasing numbers of individuals explore these therapies, which simulate the appetite-reducing hormone GLP-1, a wider range of potential adverse effects are being observed, notably hair loss.

Hair Loss Emerges as Potential Side Effect

Initial indications of this issue surfaced during the clinical trials for Wegovy. Among the over 2,100 adult participants administered the drug, 3% experienced hair loss. This figure is compared to a significantly lower rate of 1% among the approximately 1,200 participants who were given a placebo.
