Weight loss and diabetes drugs linked to hair loss, say researchers

US research based on study of 50,000 people

Semaglutide (GLP-1) weight-loss and diabetes drugs like Wegovy and Mounjaro have been linked to an increased risk of hair loss.

Weight loss and diabetes drugs such as Mounjaro, Ozempic, and Wegovy are linked to an increased risk of hair loss, researchers say.

People on GLP-1 agonist drugs have been reporting hair loss to regulators, but a new study on around 50,000 people appears to firm up the link.
