Does skyrizi cause weight loss?

My doctor just started me on Skyrizi for my skin condition. I'm actually trying to lose a little weight, so I was curious. Can taking Skyrizi cause someone to lose weight?

Haan na, weight changes ka tension hamesha rehta hai. But as far as I know, Skyrizi doesn't cause any sudden weight loss. If you are losing weight, it might be due to some other lifestyle change or diet, so a doctor checkup is best.

I was actually reading up on the clinical trial data for Skyrizi recently out of curiosity. Weight loss was not listed as a common side effect of the medicine. If you are experiencing it, it might be worth mentioning to your specialist at your next visit.

Hi there! Weight loss isn't a typical side effect of Skyrizi. Just focus on eating healthy, home-cooked food and keep smiling! Definitely let your doctor know if you feel any weakness though.

I log my daily calories and weight on MyFitnessPal, and since starting Skyrizi, my stats haven't shown any unexplained drops. If your weight is fluctuating, try logging your daily meals for a week. That data will be super helpful for your doctor to analyze.

In practice, we rarely see patients reporting sudden weight loss with Skyrizi. If you are experiencing a significant change in weight, it is important to rule out other factors with your healthcare provider. Keep your appointments regular.

I agree with others, weight loss isn't typical for this. Please keep a simple log of your weekly weight to show your physician.

I can only speak from my own experience with Skyrizi over the last 10 months. My weight has remained exactly the same as before. If you are seeing a noticeable drop, please consult your treating doctor for the right guidance.

Listen, don't stress too much about this. Skyrizi usually doesn't affect your weight like that. Just enjoy your food, take care of yourself, and if you still feel something is off, just give a quick call to your doc to be totally sure!
