Does januvia cause weight gain?
My doctor prescribed Januvia for my diabetes. Since starting it, I feel like I've gained a bit of weight. Is weight gain a known side effect of this medicine?

Januvia is generally weight-neutral and doesn't cause weight gain like some other diabetes medicines. However, keep checking your thyroid levels too, as that can also cause unexplained weight changes.

Unlike some sulfonylureas, Januvia doesn't usually lead to weight gain. If you combine it with a high-fiber vegetarian diet, it actually helps in managing weight and blood sugar well.

My doctor told me Januvia is weight-neutral. So if I gain any weight, I can't blame the medicine, it's definitely my late-night biryani cravings!
