Does midodrine cause weight gain?

Haan, midodrine mainly blood pressure maintain karne ke liye hoti hai, weight gain occurs very rarely with it. In fact, isse weight badhne ka direct connection nahi hai. If you are noticing sudden weight change, then please consult your doctor once, na?

Oh, I completely panicked when my weight fluctuated by 2 kgs after starting midodrine last year! But actually, my doc explained it was just temporary water retention because the medicine affects blood circulation. It went away on its own in a few weeks, so please don't stress.

My grandmother was advised this medicine for her dizziness. My mother suggested some traditional herbs for her weight, but we strictly followed the doctor's prescription instead. She did not face any weight gain issues. It is always safest to trust your cardiologist's advice on this.

Weight gain is not a listed or common side effect of midodrine. If you are experiencing sudden bloating or weight gain while on it, you should get your kidney function and fluid retention levels checked by your physician immediately. Don't self-diagnose online.

Dealing with weight issues is so frustrating, I know how it feels because of my PCOS. While I haven't taken midodrine personally, I know that medicines affecting blood pressure can sometimes cause fluid changes. It is best to keep a weekly log of your weight and show it to your doctor to be safe.
