Does skyrizi cause weight gain?
I'm starting treatment with Skyrizi soon for my psoriatic arthritis. I'm already struggling with my weight, and I definitely don't want to gain more. Does Skyrizi commonly lead to weight gain for patients?

Bro, I have been on Skyrizi for about 8 months now. I haven't put on any extra weight because of the injection. My appetite is normal, so as long as you eat properly, you should be fine.

No, it doesn't cause weight gain. I have been on it for a year and my weight is completely stable.

My son has been on Skyrizi for his skin condition. We were very worried about weight changes too, but his weight has been totally normal. Just make sure to keep a simple track of their eating habits and keep your doctor in the loop.

Even if there is a minor shift in metabolism, you can easily manage it. If your doctor allows, aim for a daily 30-minute brisk walk. It keeps your weight stable and is also amazing for your joint health during these treatments.

Weight issues can sometimes happen due to underlying hormonal changes like thyroid, rather than the Skyrizi itself. It is always wise to get your routine blood panels done. Do mention any sudden weight shifts to your doctor during follow-ups.
