Now Ozempic patients say they're going BALD while on fat-loss shot
Daily MailPatients using the blockbuster weight-loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy say their hair has started to fall out in clumps. An American woman on Mounjaro, who calls herself 'theegeriatricmillennial' on TikTok, said her hair was falling out in clumps when she brushed it or showered Ozempic and Wegovy use the same drug, semaglutide, which suppresses appetite and triggers weight loss. Doctors are not clear on exactly what is causing hair loss in some patients, but some say this can be triggered after rapid weight loss by a condition called telogen effluvium. Hair loss has also been recorded in patients receiving another drug, Mounjaro, to help them lose weight. She said this keeps happening, which 'adds up' over time Becca, from the US, also said that she has suffered from hair loss after losing 60lbs while on Ozempic.
