A member asked:
Can 75mg of avapro (irbesartan) make you gain weight or make it difficult to lose weight? i've been on it for many years though. would it be at the beginning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The medicine has nothing to do with weight gain. But our caloric requirements decrease with age. Weight gain is common as we get older and losing it is harder. Sorry.
