I just started taking Otezla for my psoriatic arthritis. I've actually noticed I've lost a couple of kilos since then, which was unexpected. Is weight loss a known side effect of this medication, or should I be looking into other causes?

Yes, when I was on Otezla for my joints, my appetite went down and I lost around 4 kgs in two months. It is a known effect of this medicine, so don't get scared. Just make sure you eat small, healthy meals throughout the day.

Actually yaar, weight loss is one of the most common side effects of Otezla. Almost everyone I know who took it lost a few kilos because of nausea or decreased appetite. Just monitor it so you don't lose too much too fast.

Oh, definitely! Otezla basically put my stomach on a roller coaster and made me lose weight because eating felt like a chore. If you love food, this side effect is a sad blessing in disguise, but honestly, keep some ginger tea ready for the nausea.

Haan, weight loss toh hota hai isse na. Usually 5-10% of body weight kam ho jata hai medication ke doran. But if you are losing too much weight suddenly, then you must inform your doctor immediately.

Yes, it reduces appetite. I tried drinking fennel tea and home remedies to improve my digestion, but the chemical effect of Otezla is stronger. It is best to eat light, home-cooked food in small intervals so you don't feel too weak.
