I've been on terbinafine for a fungal infection in my nail for the past month. I'm usually quite careful with my diet, but I've noticed my weight going up a bit. Could this medicine be the reason for the weight gain, or should I be looking at other causes?

Actually yaar, terbinafine causing weight gain is super rare. It usually causes taste changes or a bit of bloating which might make you feel heavy. But if you are actually gaining a lot of weight suddenly, you should probably ask your doc to check if something else is going on.

Please don't ignore sudden weight gain or swelling while on this medication. I ignored severe bloating and weight increase once, thinking it was normal, but it turned out to be liver stress from the pills. Get your blood and liver function tested by your doctor immediately.

I was on a three-month course of terbinafine for a severe fungal infection. Personally, my weight stayed exactly the same throughout the treatment, though I did feel slightly nauseous sometimes. Since everyone's metabolism is different, your doctor would know best.

Haan, waise toh ye weight badhati nahi hai, par kabhi kabhi stomach upset ya gas ki wajah se bloating lag sakti hai. Agar sach me weight badh raha hai na, toh doctor ko batao. Bina unse pooche dawa band mat karna, infection wapas aa jayega.

Do not worry too much, dear. Sometimes medications can cause temporary water retention or sluggish digestion which feels like weight gain. Keep your mind peaceful, eat light fresh meals, and trust your doctor to guide you if you feel any discomfort.
