Does jardiance cause weight loss?

My doctor recently put me on Jardiance for my diabetes. I've heard some people say it can help with weight loss too. Is that true for this medication?

Yes, it actually does help with losing some weight. My doctor told me it's a very common effect of this medicine.

Haha yes, it does! Think of it as a tiny bonus for dealing with diabetes. My old jeans finally fit me again after a few months on this, so no complaints from my side!

Haan na, weight loss toh hota hai isse. When my husband started it, he lost around 3-4 kgs in the initial months itself. But diet also matters, purely medicine pe depend nahi kar sakte.

It can cause some weight loss because of how it removes glucose from the body, but please don't take it just for that. Always monitor your dose with your doctor and get your kidney function tests done regularly to be absolutely safe.

I completely understand why you are asking, even I got super anxious when I started losing weight suddenly after taking this. But my doctor reassured me that it is just the excess sugar and water leaving the body. It is totally normal, so please don't worry.
