Does wegovy make your hair fall out?
My cousin started Wegovy for weight loss and she's complaining about hair fall now. I was considering it too, but this makes me a bit hesitant. Is hair loss a common side effect of this medicine?

Don't panic, okay? Rapid weight loss itself can trigger temporary hair shedding, which is a condition called telogen effluvium. It is usually not the medicine directly, but the stress of quick weight loss on your body. Focus on eating enough protein and vitamins.
My grandmother always suggests applying pure coconut oil to prevent hair fall. But practically, rapid weight loss from such treatments does put stress on the system. Speak to your doctor about keeping a proper multivitamin plan to avoid this.
Any quick change in the body can disrupt the hair cycle. Daily scalp massages with warm sesame oil and regular pranayama can help improve circulation. Keep your mind calm and nourish your body naturally.
Oh god, hair loss is so stressful, I would be so worried too! Some users on support groups do complain about thinning, but they say it stops after a few months. Please make sure you are getting enough nutrition to protect your hair follicles.
It is a known side effect of rapid weight drop, not necessarily a direct toxic effect of the drug. If you drop kilos fast, your body diverts nutrients away from hair. Up your protein intake and talk to a trichologist if it gets bad.

Between work stress, lack of sleep, and trying to lose weight, my hair was already crying, haha! Rapid weight loss from these injections can definitely cause some shedding. Just eat your proteins and sleep well, otherwise the comb will scare you.
I was actually planning to start this but now I am really scared about hair thinning. Has anyone here actually faced major hair loss while on it? Please let me know if it grows back after stopping or during the course.
