Does tirzepatide make your hair fall out?

Having PCOS makes me very sensitive to hair thinning already, so I was terrified of this. I did notice some increased shedding when I lost weight quickly on this medicine. It is quite common but usually temporary, so please consult your doctor to ensure your nutrition is on track.

Don't panic about the hair fall, it is just a natural reaction of the body to losing weight so fast. Focus on taking your multivitamins and eating a protein-rich diet daily. Your hair roots will recover once your body adjusts to the new weight, so just be patient.

Yes, I lost quite a bit of hair when my weight dropped rapidly in the first few months. I started taking biotin and collagen supplements after checking with my doctor, and it has controlled the shedding a lot. It's normal, so don't stress.

This is a very frequent question here. The hair loss is not from the chemical in the injection itself, but from a condition called telogen effluvium triggered by quick weight loss. To minimize it, make sure you do not cut down your protein intake drastically while on this medication.
