Doctor breaks down common side effect of using weight-loss injections
A doctor has explained the science behind one of the common side effects of using weight loss injections such as Mounjaro and Ozempic.
Hair loss is a common side effect people can experience when losing a significant amount of weight.
Medical experts believe hair loss is more often a result of the rapid weight loss triggered by the medication than the drug itself, which causes a temporary condition called telogen effluvium.
Doctor Amir Khan explains more about the condition and what can be done to help.
