Can rystiggo cause weight loss?

I've been taking Rystiggo for some time now, and I've actually lost a bit of weight without trying. I'm wondering if this medication could be the reason for this unexpected weight loss.

Rystiggo doesn't list weight loss as a direct side effect. However, my doctor mentioned that things like diarrhea or nausea, which are common with this drug, can sometimes lead to mild weight loss. Keep a log of your weight and share it with your neurologist.

Losing weight when you are already dealing with a big illness can make you feel very weak. Try drinking fresh coconut water or barley water to keep your strength up. But do tell your doctor about this weight loss.

I have learned to keep a close eye on my weight because of my high BP. While Rystiggo itself doesn't cause weight loss, any sudden change should be discussed during your regular clinic visit. Never skip your health monitoring.

For weakness or weight loss, you can try having warm milk with turmeric and dry fruits. But since you are taking a heavy medicine like Rystiggo, please consult your doctor immediately if the weight loss is sudden or severe.

Let's be clear, Rystiggo is for myasthenia gravis, not a weight loss drug. If you're losing significant weight on it, it's likely a side effect of nausea or GI issues. Call your doctor and get it sorted.

Hey, I don't think weight loss is a direct thing with Rystiggo. Maybe you're just feeling too tired or nauseous to eat properly? Try having light, small meals and talk to your doc if it continues.
