A member asked:
Can there be ways to combat weight gain if it is a side effect of a medication that has to be taken?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Work with a nutritionist. All of my patients on medications that can lead to weight gain, see a nutritionist at least once for education. Those who are struggling see the nutritionist for follow up. Take care.
