Does taltz cause weight gain?

My doctor recommended Taltz for my psoriasis. I'm already struggling with my weight, so I'm worried if this medication causes weight gain.

I have been on Taltz for over a year now. Honestly, the medicine itself didn't cause direct weight gain, but once my joint pain improved, my appetite went up because I was feeling better. Just keep track of your daily movement and diet, you will be fine.

Look, don't blame the injection for everything na. Sometimes we stress eat during flare-ups and think it is the medicine's fault. Keep a clean diet, walk daily, and if you still see a sudden jump on the scale, go talk to your rheumatologist directly.

I have heard some people talk about minor weight changes on this, but it is usually manageable. Please don't worry too much. Take your doses on time and mention this concern to your doctor in the next visit.

I checked this with my specialist because I don't have time to manage sudden side effects with my hectic schedule. Weight gain is not listed as a common direct side effect of Taltz. If you're gaining weight, look at your stress levels and sleep patterns too.

Hey! Don't stress too much about this. 🌟 Most studies don't show weight gain with Taltz. In fact, getting your skin or joint issues under control actually makes it easier to stay active and fit! Keep smiling and stay positive.
