Original: Hair Loss Was Just the Start. Ozempic Users Are Also Reporting Nail Trouble https://gizmodo.com/hair-loss-was-just-the-s
Users of Ozempic and similar GLP-1 weight-loss and diabetes drugs are reporting brittle or damaged nails, in addition to previously reported hair loss. The side effects are believed to be linked to rapid weight loss and reduced nutrient intake rather than the drug itself. Gizmodo's report is drawing attention to the growing list of cosmetic complaints from patients, as prescriptions for GLP-1 medications continue to surge worldwide.
Why now: GLP-1 drug use is surging, so reports of new side effects like nail trouble attract widespread attention and concern among current and prospective users.
