Nashville Hair Loss Experts Advise Caution: Popular Weight Loss Drug Semaglutide Linked to Hair Loss

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - EntSun -- HPIHair Partners, a leading Nashville clinic specializing in hair loss solutions, is urging individuals to be aware of a potential side effect associated with the increasingly popular weight loss drug semaglutide, the active ingredient in drugs Wegovy and Ozempic.

Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, has taken the weight loss world by storm. Initially prescribed for type 2 diabetes, it has been recently approved by the FDA for chronic weight management. However, a growing number of internet searches, along with related articles and blog posts, suggest a concerning trend: semaglutide may be causing hair loss in some users.

"While semaglutide's effectiveness in weight loss is undeniable, we've seen a significant rise in patients experiencing hair thinning and shedding after starting the medication," says Kimberly Vaughn, Advanced Trichologist, (scalp and hair specialist) at HPIHair Partners. "Recently, 1 in 3 clients have come to us specifically with hair loss as a side effect of semaglutide."
