Kyle Richards's daughter, Sophia Umansky, shared alarming images of her hair loss after losing weight quickly with the help of a weight loss medication, Mounjaro.
The 25 -year -old daughter Beverly Hills' real housewives Star posted a video on his Tiktok on Wednesday, joking that he hoped to be bald in “approximately one week” at the current rate that was experiencing hair loss.
“I started Mounjaro about four months ago, and I would say that perhaps during the last three weeks or month, I have noticed a dramatic situation of hair loss,” he explained.
Then he shared a “fast video of what [her] It looks like hair loss, “filming hair groups in the sink, which he had touched before showering. He also showed the hair he took during his shower and put himself on the wall.
However, Sophia did not think that hair loss was a “direct result” of the medication itself.
“I think it is a direct result of a rapid weight loss due to medication, and not eating enough vitamins, proteins, all that kind of thing,” he said, and pointed out that when he began taking the medication, he only focused on “eating enough” and not on the foods he should have.
Now he is “making an effort” to eat more proteins and have more vitamins. He also shared that he is testing a new shampoo and conditioner that reduces hair thinning.
In addition, it has begun to take more collagen, which can provide nutrients to improve the health of your hair.
Moujoro is a prescribed medication for people with type 2 diabetes. It is the Zepbound brand, which the Food and Medicines Administration (FDA) approved as an injection “for chronic weight control in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one condition related to weight.”
Talking with IndependentA representative of Eli Lilly and Company, the manufacturer of Mounjaro, issued a statement.
“Tirzepatide is the active ingredient in the Mounjaro and Zepbound of Lilly. The Zepbound is indicated as a complement of a reduced calorie diet and a greater physical activity for chronic weight control in adults with obesity (an initial BMI of 30 kg/m2 or greater) or overweight (an initial BMI of 27 kg/m2 or more) that has an initial weight weight It is indicated as a complement to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes; It is not approved for weight loss. Lilly does not promote or encourage the non -labeling use of any of our medications. “
“Hair loss has been observed with weight loss interventions, including bariatric surgery. Hair loss is included in the Zepbound label,” they added, before including a note on patients treated with Zepbound, who were associated with weight reduction, experiencing hair loss.
“In Zepbound clinical trials, hair loss was more frequently informed in female patients than male in placebo treatment groups (1.3% of 1.3% female versus 0% of men).
As Sophia pointed out in his video, his symptoms are probably a sign of efluvio telogen, which is when the rapid weight loss in his body leads to a “temporary hair detachment for several months,” according to Drugs.com.
Sophia is not the first famous face that opened over Mounjaro to lose weight. Last month, Meghan Trainor shared that she and her husband, Daryl Sabara, are taking the medication together.
“We made 75 hard after Riley was born and, man, we crushed,” he said, referring to the challenge of viral lifestyle, during an episode of her and his brother's podcast, Working on him. “Then, we listen more and more of our friends, and even our doctors, were in Mounjaro and Ozempic.”
He landed in Mounjaro, the Tirzepatide brand, after doing its own research and discovering that “had less side effects” than other medications.
The singer of “Made You Might” said that despite knowing how to lose weight without the help of medicines, he decided to ask his doctor about it. “I could do that, but when I asked my doctor, I thought: 'Tell me everything.' I investigated and felt sure,” he said.
