Worried about thinning hair from Ozempic or Mounjaro? You're not alone. Here's the scoop on managing GLP-1 hair loss.

Hair thinning typically isn't caused by the medication itself, but rather rapid weight loss, which triggers temporary hair shedding called telogen effluvium. Around 3 to 6% of Ozempic or Mounjaro users report this side effect. Thankfully, this hair loss is usually temporary.

Most people see hair regrowth within 6 to 12 months as their body adjusts to the medication. Good nutrition is key, especially protein and vitamins to support your hair during weight loss. Maintaining a balanced diet can significantly reduce shedding.

Here's a hot tip! Discuss adding Biotin or topical minoxidil, known as Rogaine, with your doctor to support hair health during treatment. Need more tips on managing GLP-1 side effects?
