Can mobic cause weight gain?

If you are gaining weight, don't just blame Mobic. As someone with thyroid issues, I highly suggest getting regular thyroid profile tests done to rule out other metabolic causes, and follow up with your doctor.

I’ve been taking Mobic for my back pain and I feel so swollen and heavy lately. Did anyone else gain actual fat, or is it just temporary water weight? I am really worried about this.

Bhai, humne bhi yeh dawa jodon ke dard ke liye khai thi. Thoda pet phula-phula lagta hai isse, par dawa band karte hi sab theek ho jata hai. Jyada chinta mat kijiye.

Listen, it’s mostly just water retention, not actual fat. Don't stop taking your joint pain medicine without asking your doctor, otherwise you won't even be able to walk properly. Just drink more water and watch your salt.

Mobic can cause some fluid retention, which might look like weight gain on the scale. Try to keep your sodium intake low, drink plenty of water, and stay active with light walking if your joint pain allows it.

When I was prescribed painkillers at Manipal Hospital, the doctor warned me that NSAIDs like Mobic can cause water retention, which feels like weight gain. You should definitely ask your doctor clearly if this is a concern for you.
