I am planning to start my weight loss treatment soon but I am really scared about this side effect. Does this hair shedding happen to everyone on Zepbound, or is it only if you lose weight too quickly?

I had some shedding around month three of my treatment. My doctor explained that rapid weight loss shock triggers it, not the actual medicine. I focused heavily on hitting my daily protein goals and the hair fall stopped after a couple of months.

Since your appetite is very low on these medications, you have to be highly selective about what you eat. Make sure you are prioritizing protein-rich foods like paneer and dal, but do consult your doctor for safe multivitamin options too.

Haan na, losing hair while losing weight is so stressful. I was also getting very worried, but my doctor told me to stay patient and gave me a biotin supplement. It really takes a few months for the hair to stabilize.

Gently massaging your scalp with warm coconut oil can help improve blood circulation. However, because this hair loss is linked to a strong medical treatment, please keep your prescribing doctor informed so they can monitor your nutritional levels.
