Does dupixent cause weight loss or gain?

My doctor has recommended Dupixent for my chronic sinusitis with polyps. I'm trying to manage my weight and wanted to ask about potential side effects. Does Dupixent cause weight loss or gain, or does it tend to be neutral?

Honestly, since my eczema cleared up, my mood has been so good that I have been eating out way more often! I gained a bit of weight, but that is purely because of my love for butter chicken, not the injection. It shouldn't directly affect your weight much.

As a diabetic, I monitor my weight and blood sugar very closely every week. Dupixent did not cause any sudden weight gain or loss for me, which was a big relief. Just make sure you maintain a consistent low-carb diet to keep your health parameters stable.

In my experience, modern treatments work best when combined with gentle yoga and deep breathing. I did not notice any major weight fluctuations with this medicine. Pranayama helps keep your hormones balanced, which naturally regulates your weight.

Beta, these new-age injections might not cause direct weight changes, but you must take care of your digestion. Drink warm water with fennel seeds in the morning to keep your stomach clear. Always consult your big doctor before making any changes to your treatment.

I've been on Dupixent for six months now and honestly, my weight hasn't changed even by a kilo. It just cleared up my skin big time, which was my main goal anyway. Don't overthink the weight stuff, just go for it if your doctor suggested it.

I got so anxious reading about potential weight changes before starting my doses, it literally kept me awake at night. But my doctor assured me there is no proven link to weight fluctuations. Please try not to stress, as anxiety itself can mess with your appetite!

Dupixent generally doesn't cause significant weight loss or gain. Talk to your dermatologist if you notice any sudden changes.

I agree, I did not experience any weight loss or gain while on this medicine. Staying active and hydrated is enough to manage your weight normally.
