Hair loss has become one of the most reported concerns among people taking GLP-1 drugs, such as Ozempic, Wegovy and Zepbound — so much so that the phenomenon has earned the nickname “Ozempic hair.”
Several studies have investigated whether these drugs are linked to hair loss, but none has shown that the medications themselves cause hair to fall out. Now, new research offers a clue about a possible biological connection between GLP-1s and thinning hair — at least in men.
