Does misoprostol cause weight gain?

Honestly, I don't think so. My friend had to take it last year and she didn't face any weight issues. It mostly just causes stomach cramps and some temporary bloating.

Weight gain is not a known side effect of this medicine. If you feel slightly heavy, it is probably just bloating or water retention, so try drinking warm water and avoid heavy, salty foods for a few days.

My mother always says to eat light rice porridge when taking strong medications like this. It doesn't cause weight gain, but it can make your stomach sensitive, so listen to your doctor and rest well.

When I took it, I only experienced some nausea, shivering, and heavy cramping. There was absolutely no change in my weight at all, even weeks later.

Don't worry about weight gain, it is not a side effect of misoprostol. Just focus on hydration because the medication can cause diarrhoea or vomiting, which actually drains your body's fluids.
