Re: VICTOZA side effects
Hair Loss...
I started Victoza about 10 days ago and in the last 2 days have noticed lots of hair loss. My hair is naturally very thick and wavy so up to a point loosing some hair isn't too big a deal. It does concern me though. The other side effect that I've noticed is lots of gas, especially burping. It tastes really funky, kind of like barbecue (smoked pork or beef) that's just slightly off. My doctor started me out at .6 the first week and then 1.2 after than. The burping started right away and then pretty much went away after a few days so that by the time I was ready to increase the dosage it had gone away almost completely. When I increased the dosage, 3 days ago, it came back. The hair loss didn't start until I started the 1.2 dosage. Hopefully that will stop soon. If not, I won't have any hair left in a few weeks, or will have to go back to Byetta.
Thanks,
Alisa
