How Do Weight Loss Drugs Work? How Do They Contribute to Hair Loss?
You’ve probably heard all the buzz diabetic drugs that help with weight loss ,but do you know that some people have experienced hair loss as a side effect? These drugs stimulate the body’s natural insulin release to help lower blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Hair loss is not a listed side effect of consuming the drug, but is a recurring problem amongst individuals. The hair loss is tracked to the weight loss caused by the drug, being indirectly a side effect. Major weight loss puts stress on your body similar to emotional stress that can result in hair loss. When the body is going through a nutrient deficiency it takes resources away from hair, to redistribute to more essential body functions. As a result more hair is in the resting phase than normal allowing it to shed without new hair growing to replace it.
