Does isotretinoin cause weight gain?

My mother suggested drinking more buttermilk to keep the body cool while on this medicine. However, my dermatologist told me clearly that isotretinoin does not cause weight gain. Just trust your doctor and keep a track of your daily diet.

Don't stress, isotretinoin is primarily for acne and has no direct relation to weight gain. Sometimes, because of joint stiffness or fatigue from the medicine, people move less, which might cause a bit of weight change. Just take regular short walks and you'll be fine.

Haan, maine bhi jab ye treatment liya tha toh thoda bloating feel hota tha, par vajan nahi badha sach mein. Aap thoda walk vagera karte raho aur oily food avoid karo, fir koi problem nahi hogi na.

I tracked my weight and calorie intake daily while I was on a 6-month course of isotretinoin. My weight remained completely stable. Just make sure to monitor your lipid profile and liver enzymes regularly as this medicine can affect cholesterol levels.

Haan na, mujhe bhi shuruat mein thoda dar lag raha tha vajan badhne ka. But actually my doctor said it doesn't cause weight gain at all. Bas thoda face dry hota hai aur fatigue hota hai, baki kuch nahi.

I was checking my weight almost every single morning while taking this because I read some random blog online! Honestly, it was just my anxiety playing tricks on me. There was no real weight gain, so please try to relax and don't overthink it.
