Can adalimumab cause weight gain?

I have been on biologics like adalimumab for my arthritis for a few years now. Initially, I did put on about 3-4 kgs, but honestly, the relief from pain was worth it. With time and a little control over my daily walks, my weight stabilized nicely.

Please be very careful with weight changes on adalimumab. I had some sudden swelling and water retention when I started, which turned out to be a reaction. If you notice rapid weight gain or breathing issues, don't ignore it and consult your doctor immediately.

Haan, isse vajan thoda badh sakta hai, mere ek cousin ko bhi hua tha jab usne injection start kiya. Actually jab chronic pain kam hota hai na, toh appetite apne aap badh jati hai. Thoda diet control rakhna padega aur kuch nahi.

Do not go by what random people tell you on the internet or try home remedies to cut weight while on biologics. Adalimumab is a heavy medication and any weight gain should be discussed directly with your prescribing specialist. They know your clinical history best.

Yo, I’m on adalimumab for Crohn's and I actually gained weight, but for me, it was a good thing because I was underweight due to the illness. If you're gaining unwanted fat, just check your daily activity. The medicine itself might make you hold a bit of water initially.

Yes, weight gain is a known side effect for many on this medication. I experienced it too during my first few months.

Dekho, medicine band mat karna vajan ke darr se. Adalimumab standard treatment hai severe cases ke liye. Agar vajan thoda badh bhi raha hai, toh walk badhao aur meetha thoda kam karo, automatic balance ho jayega.

Managing weight is already a massive struggle for me due to PCOS, so I completely understand the worry. Adalimumab can cause weight fluctuations due to changes in inflammation and metabolic rates. Try to focus on eating low-glycemic, whole foods and speak to your doctor if it becomes hard to manage.

Some weight gain can happen with these biological treatments. From a dietary perspective, keeping a clean vegetarian diet with high fiber, less refined carbs, and checking your portion sizes can help manage this. Make sure to discuss any major diet changes with your doctor first.
