Does myrbetriq cause weight gain?

My doctor prescribed Myrbetriq for my overactive bladder symptoms. I'm reviewing the possible side effects, and I'm concerned about weight changes. Is weight gain a common or known side effect associated with Myrbetriq?

Weight gain is not listed as a common side effect of Myrbetriq in its clinical data. If you are noticing changes, it might be due to other lifestyle factors or fluid retention. Keep a quick log of your diet and discuss it during your next doctor's appointment.

Managing bladder issues alongside PCOS hormonal shifts can be quite tricky. Myrbetriq generally doesn't affect weight, but our bodies can react uniquely. It is best to discuss any concerns gently with your doctor.

I checked with the clinical coordinator at my hospital regarding Myrbetriq. They confirmed that weight gain is extremely rare with this medication. You should ask your urologist clearly if you feel you are retaining fluid.

Honestly, between running to the bathroom all night and getting no sleep, weight gain is the last thing on my mind! Myrbetriq usually doesn't cause weight issues, but if it helps you sleep better, it is worth it anyway.

No, Myrbetriq does not typically cause weight gain. Speak to your doctor if you experience sudden changes.

I get so anxious whenever I start a new prescription like Myrbetriq, constantly checking the scale! From what I read, it shouldn't cause weight gain, but the anxiety itself can make us feel bloated. Try to relax and consult your doctor to put your mind at ease.
