Does ajovy cause weight loss?

I've been on Ajovy for my migraines for a few months now, and I feel like I've lost some weight. I was wondering if this medication could be the cause. Does Ajovy cause weight loss?

I started Ajovy a few months ago for my chronic migraines. I didn't lose any weight directly from the drug, but because my headaches stopped, I felt more active and started going for evening walks, which helped me shed a few kilos naturally.

In my experience, Ajovy doesn't have weight loss as a direct side effect. If you are losing weight rapidly after starting this injection, it might be due to nausea or some other reason, so you should definitely consult your doctor about it.

Look, we shouldn't expect weight loss from a migraine medicine. If you want to lose weight, simple home-cooked meals and avoiding oily sweets is the best practical way. If Ajovy is helping your headaches, focus on that benefit first.

I've been on Ajovy for about four months now. Absolutely zero change in my weight, neither gain nor loss. It just worked great for my severe headaches, which is all I cared about anyway.

Bro, my sister is on Ajovy and she didn't lose any weight at all. Her appetite is pretty much the same as before. If you are dropping weight suddenly, maybe it is just stress or diet changes, not the shot.

I was researching this medicine for my mother and didn't find weight loss listed as a common side effect in any medical resources. It seems to be weight-neutral for most people. It's always best to ask your treating doctor if you notice any sudden changes.

Haan, weight loss direct toh nahi hota isse, but jab migraine thik ho jata hai toh life thodi healthy ho hi jati hai na. My neighbor also takes this shot and she is totally fine, weight remains normal only. Don't worry too much about it.
