Does tirzepatide cause hair loss?

Yes, it happens because of the rapid weight drop. Try increasing your daily protein intake and talk to your dermatologist for a gentle hair serum.

Oh god, I noticed so much hair in my brush after my third dose and I immediately started panicking that I would go bald! I've been crying and researching about it constantly. My doctor told me it's normal and temporary, but it still makes me so anxious. Please make sure you are taking your vitamins!

Look, it is not the medicine directly causing baldness, it is the sudden, fast weight loss that shocks your system. If you stop eating enough protein, your hair is bound to fall. Fix your diet, add a good multivitamin after asking your doctor, and stop stressing over every fallen strand.

My mother suggested applying homemade coconut oil with amla to reduce the hair fall, which helps soothe the scalp. However, our doctor explained that this shedding is temporary and is called telogen effluvium, caused by quick weight reduction. It usually stops on its own in a few months.
