Does tremfya cause weight gain?

For almost a year now, I've been on Tremfya for my psoriatic arthritis. My joint pain is much better, but I feel like I've put on a few kgs without changing my diet. Could Tremfya be a reason for this weight gain?

My son has been taking Tremfya for his skin condition for a year now. He hasn't gained any weight from the injection itself, but he has become more active since his skin cleared up, which actually helped his physical health. Keep track of your home-cooked meals and don't worry.

According to clinical studies, weight gain is not listed as a common side effect of Tremfya. I log all my meals and activities on my health tracker, and any minor weight changes are usually just due to lifestyle shifts. Focus on your daily activity levels and macros.

These modern biologic injections are very advanced, beta, so they don't cause simple weight issues. To keep your digestion clean and weight balanced, you can drink warm water with a little lemon in the morning. Always listen to your specialist doctor first.

I checked with my dermatologist about this before starting my doses because I have a very hectic schedule and can't manage sudden health changes. She assured me Tremfya doesn't affect weight. Just maintain a basic, consistent routine and don't overthink it.

I have seen how medical science has progressed, and these new treatments are much safer than old steroids. I did not face any weight issues with my treatment. Just have faith in your doctor and keep a happy mind.
