Multaq And Weight Gain (Top voted first)

Updated

I've been on multaq for my afib diagnosis since April and have gained 12 lbs. in such a short time after just having lost 40 lbs in the many months prior to diagnosis. My healthy eating has not changed and exercising doesn't help to rid the pounds. I can only attribute this new additional weight to multaq. Has anyone else experienced weight gain being on multaq?

Yes, that is a possible side effect of this medication, along with nausea, dizziness, headache, and dry mouth.

However, it should top out around this gain amount and should not continue. If it does, you should contact your doctor.

Are you on any other medications?

Only other new Med started at the same time as Multaq is Eliquis. Otherwise I've been on couple other meds for years.

I have been taking Multaq for approximately a year and have gained 22lbs. Frightening! It seem like every two weeks I have gained 1-2 lbs.
Eating the same and exercising.
