Hello Connie,

According to the National Institute of Health during their case study less than 1% of the patients who were given the pill showed symptoms of weight gain and thus they determined that this is not an adverse effect caused by the medicine. This does not mean that you are not being effected by the weight gain, it may simply means that it not common and that if proven to be the cause you would be among the very rare cases.

If you are concerned that you are gaining weight despite doing your best to maintain or lose it, please consult your doctor as there could be other factors at play here.

I hope this helps and I wish you the best.

My wife and myself eat the same diet. I cook for her. She is losing weight as our diet should allow. I'm gaining weight. Our only difference is I'm on movantik.
