Does voquezna cause weight gain?

My doctor recently prescribed Voquezna for my acidity issues. I'm always a bit worried about new medicines affecting my weight. Has anyone experienced weight gain while taking Voquezna, or is it generally weight-neutral?

I usually prefer managing acidity with cold milk or fennel seeds, but when taking prescribed medicines like Voquezna, it's best to follow the doctor's guide. Weight changes aren't a very common side effect, but if you notice sudden swelling or extreme weight gain, please consult your doctor immediately.

I've been on Voquezna for my severe acid reflux for a month now and honestly, I haven't noticed any weight gain at all. It just stopped the burning so I can actually eat normally now. Just talk to your doctor if you're worried about side effects.

Sometimes when your acidity is cured, you start enjoying your meals more and might eat a bit extra, which can lead to slight weight gain. I faced this too when taking acid blockers. The key is to monitor your portion sizes and stick to a clean diet once your stomach heals.

I panicked when I started this medication because I read random blogs about weight gain. But after discussing it with my doctor, I realized it's not a common side effect of Voquezna. I've been fine, so don't worry too much!

I completely understand why you're worried; whenever I start a new medicine, I also stress about weight gain and other side effects. It can be so exhausting to overthink this. Just try to take it as prescribed and let your doctor know if you feel any changes.

I was just prescribed Voquezna and I'm really anxious about starting it because of weight issues. Has anyone actually experienced noticeable weight gain while on this, or is it mostly safe?
