Can contrave cause hair loss?

Pichle kuch mahino se main Contrave le rahi hoon weight loss ke liye, aur ab mujhe bahut zyada hair fall ho raha hai. Kya Contrave ki wajah se baal jhad sakte hain?

Haan na, it actually can cause some hair thinning. Mere ek friend ko bhi contrave start karne ke baad ye problem hui thi. Tension mat lo, once your body gets used to it or you stop it, hair normally comes back.

I totally get how scary this feels, I literally lose my sleep when my hair starts falling. When I looked up side effects of my weight loss meds, I panicked so bad. Honestly, please don't stress too much because stress makes hair fall even worse, just have a quick word with your doctor once.

Yes, heavy medications can sometimes disrupt the natural cycle of our body and lead to hair fall. Along with your treatment, try doing daily pranayama like Kapalbhati and gentle head massages with warm coconut oil. It really helps restore the natural balance and blood flow to the scalp.

Hey there! Yes, it can happen sometimes but don't lose heart! Just make sure you are eating super healthy and drinking lots of water. Usually, this is just a temporary phase and your beautiful hair will bounce back soon! 😊

Actually, my doctor explained this to me last month. Contrave itself can cause mild hair loss in a small percentage of people, but often it is the rapid weight loss itself that triggers a temporary shedding called telogen effluvium. He suggested keeping protein intake high and checking ferritin levels.
