A member asked:
I've been taking a birth control pill and noticed that i lack an appetite now. is that a side effect of birth control? can it result in weight loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No and No: Most patient's think that the pill erroneously increases their appetite with attendant weight gain. Neither weight loss or gain is a function of the oral contraceptive pill.
