Can dupixent cause weight loss?

Question

Having been on Dupixent for my skin condition for a few months, I've noticed I'm losing a bit of weight. I haven't changed my diet or exercise much. Could Dupixent be the reason for this weight loss?

Riya Sharma · Accepted Answer

Hey, don't stress too much about this! Weight loss isn't a typical side effect of Dupixent. Sometimes just feeling better or changes in your daily routine can affect your weight, so just track it and eat well.

Kunal Verma · Answer

I was actually researching Dupixent for a friend and weight loss isn't listed as a common side effect in clinical trials. It is more common for people to report slight weight gain, though even that is rare.

Sneha Nair · Answer

Actually, it's not a common side effect at all. If you are losing weight, it might just be because your skin is healing and you are sleeping better now!

I started on Dupixent recently and I feel like my appetite has decreased a bit. Has anyone else noticed this? I am a bit worried if I will start losing too much weight.

Rajesh Malhotra · Answer

If you are experiencing unexplained weight loss while on this drug, please get it checked. I once ignored a sudden weight drop thinking it was just stress, and it turned out to be a different medical issue altogether. Better to consult your doctor.

Amit Saxena · Answer

Unexplained weight loss can sometimes be linked to metabolic shifts or other underlying health issues like blood sugar changes. Make sure you are eating regular, balanced meals and discuss this with your physician.
