Weight Gain Due To Clopitorva And Telma
(Newest replies first)

I have been on Clopitorva 20 + Telma 40 for five months. During this time I have seen fat around my tummy that has increased in spite of exercises; even my hands and legs are becoming fat. Is it a side effect of these medications? I am a female of 60 years.

Hello,
There has been no change in the shortness of breath symptom. I estimate weight gain around 2 kilos. Urination is slightly more than usual, but not that much. Have not consulted cardiologist about this particular symptom of weight gain, this is more a recent observation.
Thanks

It is possible, since these medication can cause some weight gain, as well as fluid retention as side effects, according to NIH reports. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and increased urination.

Has there been any change? How much have you gained? Have you consulted a cardiologist?

I am a sixty year old Indian lady living in Bangalore. I never had any blood pressure or heart ailment before. In November 2016 suddenly I had a mild heart attack and my BP was 150 suddenly. I am a very active person with a normal body weight. But I noticed that I started putting on weight around my waist and slightly on my arms and thighs after three months of taking Clopitorva 20. And I developed shortness of breath soon after my medication started. I reported to my doctor and so many tests were done, there was no chest congestion etc. Hence doctors changed me to Telma 40 and Nodon instead of Metosartan but Clopitorva 20 was continued. Now I take only one Telma 40 and one Clopitorva 20.

I do sufficient exercise like yoga and walking and am very watchful of eating a healthy heart friendly diet.

Please guide me.

Thanks for this service.
