Does mavyret cause weight loss?

My doctor prescribed Mavyret for me, and I'm looking into potential side effects. I'm trying to maintain my current weight, so I was wondering if Mavyret causes weight loss. Is this a common occurrence with this medication?

Sometimes medications can disturb our digestive fire, leading to a temporary loss of appetite and subsequent weight loss. I found that practicing gentle deep breathing and drinking warm ginger water helped soothe my stomach during my treatment. Listen to your body and don't force anything.

It can be really scary to see the numbers on the scale drop when you are already dealing with a health condition. I remember feeling so anxious when I lost a few kilos during my treatment. Just know that you are not alone, and it usually stabilizes once the therapy is complete.

Haan na, weight loss can happen because nausea is a common side effect of these tablets. I also felt like not eating anything during the first few weeks, which made me lose a bit of weight. Just try to eat light ghar ka khaana and take proper rest.

Beta, during such strong treatments, it is common to feel a bit weak or lose some weight. Try taking small, frequent meals instead of heavy ones, and have a little dahi or buttermilk to keep your digestion cool. But if the weight loss is very fast, you must consult your doctor without delay.

Don't go by what people online tell you about weight fluctuations on Mavyret. Everyone's body reacts differently to antivirals, and self-diagnosing can be risky. You should talk directly to your treating doctor to understand if the weight loss is expected or if you need a dose adjustment.

If you are losing weight, make sure you aren't losing muscle mass because of low protein intake. Try adding simple high-protein foods like paneer or boiled eggs to your diet if your doctor permits. Also, a simple 20-minute daily walk can keep your metabolism active and improve your appetite.
