The risk of developing noticeable hair loss from semaglutide is low however it is listed as an uncommon side effect and we have had seen this is our customer base. There is not enough research to determine if the hair loss is from the medication itself or rapid weight loss.
Studies estimate hair loss occurs in roughly 3-9 people per 1000 users. Most semaglutide related hair loss is temporary. Once your weight stabilizes and your nutritional status improves, hair should begin to grow back. The process is slow and may take 3-6 months or more to recover.
It is important to follow the guidelines from your prescriber on the proper protein intake and multivitamin regiment.
