GLP-1 Drugs Linked to Hair Loss Risk | Australia News
Description
New research reveals GLP-1 weight-loss drugs like Mounjaro and Wegovy may significantly increase hair loss risk—up to 68% higher than other diabetes meds—especially after a year of use, with women more affected. Scientists suspect rapid weight loss and nutrient gaps (like iron or zinc) disrupt hair cycles, but stress the overall risk remains low. While not physically painful, hair loss can deeply impact self-esteem, making it a key consideration for patients and doctors weighing treatment options.
