Does kisqali cause weight gain?

I'm starting a new medication, Kisqali, and I'm trying to prepare for any changes it might bring. I'm already struggling with my weight, so I'm wondering, does Kisqali typically cause weight gain?

Yes, weight changes and bloating can happen with this treatment. It is so frustrating to deal with, but try to wear loose, comfortable clothes and don't be too hard on yourself right now.

Weight fluctuation can happen, but check if it's fluid retention. Make sure you get your regular blood tests done at a reasonable lab as advised by your hospital, so you can track your health parameters budget-friendly.

I totally get it, managing weight while going through such a heavy treatment is incredibly exhausting. Just focus on healing your body and try not to stress about the scale right now.

It definitely causes some metabolic changes and bloating. Don't go on any crash diets to fix it, just speak to your doctor or a clinical nutritionist who specializes in oncology support.

It can cause some weight changes for many people. Just take your meals on time, rest well, and let your body heal at its own pace.

Weight gain or fluid retention can sometimes occur during this therapy. Keep an eye on any sudden swelling in your feet or ankles and report it to your oncologist, as they might need to adjust supportive medicines.
