Can zilbrysq cause weight gain?

I've been on Zilbrysq for a few weeks now and feel like I'm gaining weight, which is unusual for me. Could this medication be causing weight gain?

Haan, weight change to ho sakta hai because these advanced meds can sometimes affect your metabolism or cause fluid retention na. It is better to discuss this with your specialist to see if it is actual fat or just bloating.

Ho na, even my cousin felt some bloating and weight gain after starting similar long-term treatments. The body takes time to adjust to such strong medications. Try to keep a watch on your diet and consult your doctor, ho na.

As someone managing thyroid-related weight issues, I know how frustrating unexplained weight gain can be. Since Zilbrysq is a specialized medication, hormonal or metabolic changes can happen. You should get regular metabolic panels done and consult your doctor to manage it safely.

Hey, don't stress too much about the scale right now. Your main priority is managing your health condition with the medication. Just focus on eating well, taking short walks, and let your body adapt to the treatment.

Sudden or significant weight gain can sometimes point to fluid retention or kidney issues, which should not be ignored with these medications. Please get yourself evaluated by your treating physician to find the exact cause and ensure your safety.
