Ozempic, a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes, has been linked to the side effect of hair loss. This can be a distressing side effect for those experiencing it, as hair loss can impact self-esteem and confidence.
The exact mechanism by which Ozempic causes hair loss is not fully understood, but it is thought that the medication may interfere with the hair growth cycle. Hair loss typically occurs within the first few months of starting Ozempic treatment and can range from mild to severe. In most cases, hair loss is temporary and will resolve once the medication is discontinued.
