**Hair Loss & Weight Loss Drugs: What You Need to Know**  

Hair loss is a concern that affects millions, and while genetics, stress, and nutritional deficiencies have long been known culprits, a new factor is emerging—weight loss medications.  

Recent reports suggest that drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro, commonly used for weight management, may be linked to excessive hair shedding[43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054](https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/other/thousands-of-weight-loss-injection-users-say-hair-loss-is-excessive-heres-what-a-doctor-thinks/ar-AA1Euims?citationMarker=43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 "1"). While hair loss isn’t a direct side effect of these medications, **rapid weight loss itself** can trigger a condition called **telogen effluvium**, where hair follicles prematurely enter the shedding phase[43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054](https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/weight-loss-drugs-and-hair-loss-rcna79798?citationMarker=43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 "2").  

So, what can you do?  

- **Prioritize Nutrition:** Ensure you’re getting enough protein, vitamins, and minerals to support hair health.  

- **Monitor Changes:** If you notice excessive shedding, consult a healthcare professional to assess potential deficiencies or underlying conditions.
