Does repatha cause weight loss?

I'm discussing options with my doctor for my high cholesterol, and Repatha came up. I'm also trying to manage my weight. Does Repatha have any effect on weight, like causing weight loss?

Based on what I have seen and discussed with others on this medication, Repatha does not directly cause weight loss. Any weight loss you experience is usually because people start eating a much healthier, low-fat diet to manage their cholesterol. It is always a good idea to discuss sudden weight changes with your practitioner.

No, Repatha isn't a weight loss drug and it won't magically shed pounds for you. If you are losing weight, it is likely due to your own dietary changes or exercise routine after the high cholesterol diagnosis. Keep up the healthy habits, but don't expect the injection to do that job.

I was actually looking up the side effects of Repatha for my uncle and didn't find any scientific link to weight loss. Most forums say it is weight-neutral. If anyone is losing weight suddenly on it, they should probably get their thyroid or general health checked.

I know how stressful it is when your body changes and you don't know which medicine is causing what. I kept hoping it would help me lose some weight, but honestly, it didn't change my weight at all. It can be so frustrating to manage all these health issues together, I really feel you.

I have not seen any weight loss from this medicine alone. Real health and weight management come from within, through daily pranayama and eating clean, seasonal food. Trust your doctor's treatment, but keep your daily routine natural and active.

I've been on Repatha for over a year and my weight hasn't budged because of the drug. If you want to lose weight, you still have to put in the work with regular walking and cutting out processed sugar. Don't rely on this medicine for weight changes, just use it for your heart health.
