Hair Loss on Tirzeptide?

It sounds like you have a balanced diet. But, you might have to increase your protein intake. 100g daily is a little light depending on your goal, I think. I know for adults over 50, they recommend 1.6+/kg. Maybe legumes or some other protein dense veggie on the side with your main protein?

For women, it’s more common to add oral minoxidil or topical minoxidil to prevent hair loss during weight loss. But, men also benefit from minoxidil or finasteride. You mention blood pressure control issues, so obviously need to discuss with your provider before hopping on anything.

I already had thin/thinning hair before starting tirz, I read up on the dread shed that most experience (scared the crap out of me). I started oral minoxidil before beginning the Tirz due to this. I can't afford to lose much more. The oral minoxidil did prevent shedding. I will continue taking it forever in hopes to regain some growth and volume.

Like others have said, the most likely case is your diet, i.e. lack of nutrients. From personal experience, one of the main reasons behind hair loss is a lack of irons would highly recommend getting your bloods done if you haven’t already and see if you’re deficient. An iron transfusion will make a huge difference, not just for your hair, but general energy levels as well. But keep up the minoxidil as well

Obviously you should look into the risks, but I found any hair loss from rapid weight loss recovered with the use of minoxidil and finasteride. I realize the later is somewhat contentious, but I never experienced any side effects from it and it probably had the biggest impact in terms of my hair regrowth.

Not sure if it's relevant for you, but worth knowing that topical minoxidil is toxic to cats and dogs

Huh, did not know that, thank you. Lots of dogs here.
