Question
My hair used to be very thick and dry, but, since I started taking
Byetta
it has thinned and become very oily which I hate. Has anyone complained about hair loss, and/or oiliness while taking
Byetta?
Answer
Yes; there have been numerous comments
about this at
Diabetes.Blog.com's
Discussion Forums about Byetta. The main concern is whether you have underactive
thyroid
function
(hypothyroidism).
Ask your doctor to check your
TSH
level
if it hasn't been done recently!
