Does farxiga cause weight gain?

My doctor put me on Farxiga for my kidney issues, and I'm generally trying to keep my weight in check. I'm worried if this medication could make me gain weight. Does Farxiga typically cause weight gain?

Nahi babuji, Farxiga se toh vajan kam hota hai, badhta nahi hai. Hamare padosi bhi ise lete hain aur unka vajan thoda kam hi hua hai. Aap chinta mat kijiye, yeh dawai sugar ke sath vajan kabu karne mein madad karti hai.

Bilkul nahi yaar, isse weight badhta nahi hai. Farxiga toh ulta extra glucose ko body se bahar nikalta hai toh thoda vajan kam hi hota hai. Bas pani acche se peena aur clean hygiene maintain rakhna, baki sab badhiya hai.

Actually, Farxiga helps your kidneys flush out extra sugar through urine, which usually leads to mild weight loss rather than gain. Just make sure you drink plenty of water to avoid any dehydration or infections. Keep up with your doctor's advice.

Yes, I agree. Farxiga is actually known to assist with weight loss rather than causing any weight gain.

From what I have seen in diabetic and insulin resistance groups, Farxiga doesn't cause weight gain. In fact, most people experience some weight reduction. Just be sure to monitor your symptoms and keep your doctor updated on how you feel.

I was also very scared of weight gain when my doctor suggested Farxiga because my weight is already a big worry for me. But after reading so much, I found out it actually helps lower weight by flushing out calories. Hope this brings you some peace of mind!

Actually, it's the opposite, yaar. Farxiga helps you shed a few kilos because it works on removing extra sugar. Just don't forget to keep yourself hydrated throughout the day.

Farxiga helps lower weight, not gain it. However, always support your medication with a clean, fiber-rich vegetarian diet. Avoid heavy sweets and processed food to get the best health benefits.

Hey, don't worry! Farxiga won't make you gain weight. My aunt was prescribed this and she actually lost a couple of kilograms in the first few months. Just eat healthy and let the medicine do its job.

My husband has been on Farxiga for a year now. He hasn't gained any weight; in fact, he looks much leaner now. Just make sure you encourage them to drink lots of water and maintain proper personal hygiene to prevent any side effects.

No, it does not cause weight gain. It usually has the opposite effect, so please take your dose as advised without worry.
