Does nexlizet cause weight gain?

My friend just started taking Nexlizet for her cholesterol and is concerned about weight gain. She asked me to find out if it's a known side effect of the medicine. Does Nexlizet typically cause people to put on weight?

Please be very careful with cholesterol meds. I had some muscle pain complications earlier and thought it was just random, but it was a side effect. If you feel any unusual weight changes or swelling, immediately book an appointment with your doctor.

I go to Max Hospital and my doctor explicitly told me that Nexlizet doesn't usually cause weight gain. If you are noticing a sudden change in weight, it is best to consult your cardiologist clearly. Don't stop the medicine on your own.

Oh God, I also check every single side effect on Google and panic! I read that Nexlizet isn't known for weight gain, but I still track my weight daily just in case. Just try to eat clean and stay positive, it will be fine!

It is always safer to get any new symptoms checked out by your specialist. Weight gain can sometimes be a sign of fluid retention, which needs medical evaluation. Please don't ignore it or assume it's just normal fat gain.

Beta, modern medicines can sometimes make the body hold some water, making you feel heavy. Drink warm water in the morning with a bit of lemon. But don't mess with the heart dosage without asking your big doctor.

I totally get it, worrying about weight gain while starting a new heart medicine is so stressful. Honestly, Nexlizet doesn't typically cause this, but managing health changes is tough. Take it easy and talk to your physician to ease your mind.

Weight gain toh nahi hota isse, ho na. Mera weight bilkul same hi hai do mahine se. Aap thoda walking badha do, walk karne se cholesterol mein bhi help hoti hai.
