Does dupixent cause weight gain?
I recently started Dupixent for my asthma, and I'm trying to be mindful of my health. My friend mentioned that some medications can affect weight. Does Dupixent cause weight gain, or is it usually not an issue?

I totally panicked when I saw the scale go up by two kilos after my first few Dupixent doses. But my doctor reassured me that it was just minor fluid retention and my weight stabilized completely after a month. Don't worry, it is quite normal in the beginning!

To be honest, once my skin stopped itching and I felt happier, I just started enjoying my meals so much more! Sometimes we mistake the joy of eating delicious biryani again for a medication side effect. Just enjoy your food but keep an eye on the portions.

Most people actually don't gain weight on Dupixent, so you can breathe easy! It has been a total lifesaver for many. Just stay active and enjoy your itch-free skin!

I completely understand how stressful it is to start a biological medicine and fear weight changes, as I also spent sleepless nights researching this. But clinical trials show weight gain is extremely rare with Dupixent. Try to focus on your healing and discuss your fears with your doctor.
