A member asked:
Does concerta cause muscle loss or fat loss? would it decrease any chance of muscle gain or cancel out protein intake?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not directly: When Concerta is associated with weight or muscle loss it is due to inadequate calorie food intake due to appetite suppression. There is no direct effect on muscle or fat. If appetite suppression is a problem, ask for an alternative medication.
