Does qulipta cause weight gain?

My doctor prescribed me Qulipta, and I'm quite disciplined with my diet and exercise to manage my weight. I wanted to confirm if Qulipta causes weight gain as a side effect.

I spent hours worrying about this before starting Qulipta. Actually, clinical trials show it is much more likely to cause weight loss, not weight gain. I hope this brings you some peace of mind.

Honestly, Qulipta usually decreases your appetite, so you might actually lose interest in food. It's a bit sad for foodies like me, but you definitely won't gain weight!

I agree with the others, Qulipta is known for causing weight loss rather than gain due to decreased appetite.

I completely understand how stressful it is to start a new medicine and worry about weight changes. Rest assured, weight gain is extremely rare with Qulipta; most patients actually experience a bit of weight loss.

It usually causes weight loss, but if you are noticing unexpected weight gain or swelling, don't ignore it like I used to. Get a proper checkup done to see if something else is causing it.
