Does jardiance cause hair loss?

I started taking Jardiance a few months ago for my diabetes. Recently, I've noticed quite a bit of hair fall. Is hair loss a common side effect of Jardiance?

Honestly, don't worry too much about this. I have been taking it for a while and haven't faced any major hair fall issues at all. Just keep taking your normal diet and trust your doc.

I log all my symptoms on my health tracker daily and haven't noticed any correlation between Jardiance and hair loss since I started last year. Hair fall can happen due to sudden sugar level changes or stress too. Keep tracking your sleep and hydration levels on your app.

Oh God, I panicked so much about this when my doctor first prescribed it to me! I spent hours reading horror stories online, but actually, nothing happened. My hair is exactly the same and my sugar levels are so much better now. Don't stress, it is quite normal.

Bro, I've been using it for 6 months now. No hair loss at all, everything is normal on my end. Just make sure you are drinking enough water because this medicine makes you pee a lot.

I am on Jardiance too and my hair is totally fine. Usually, if your body is going through a change in diet or rapid weight loss from starting new meds, some temporary thinning can happen. Just focus on getting enough protein and do your daily workout, it will get sorted.
