Durezol Eye Drop And Weight Gain

Updated

I am also rapidly gaining weight and have several more weeks to go on Durezol. 8 lbs in the first 9 days. Does it stop or just keep going up? How long did it take you to lose it?

Hello, Liberty! How are you?

Since this is a topical steroid that's just placed into the eye, you don't usually absorb enough of it to cause weight gain and the FDA doesn't list it as a known side effect of the ophthalmic solution, those typical include eye redness, trouble seeing at night, blurred vision and dry eyes.

I'm not saying it's impossible, but rather that it hasn't been known to happen, so far.

Have you consulted your doctor? Are you on any other medications?

Doctor did call back today and said it's not happening. My scale and I know it is. No other drugs. No suddenly abnormal food intake.

I have to admit that I would feel the same, if it were me, since you're finding no other logical cause.

Is it possibly fluid gain? Steroids can sometimes cause that.
