GLP-1 medications used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity are associated with an increased risk of hair loss – especially non-scarring alopecia – in adults with type 2 diabetes, a new study has found. This study could not establish causality and only demonstrated a correlation between hair loss and GLP-1 weight-loss drugs.

The authors point out that rapid weight loss, which can be caused by GLP-1 use, is a well-established trigger of hair shedding and can also lead to iron or zinc deficiencies, which disrupt the hair growth cycle.
