Although weight gain is not listed as the most common side effect with Erelzi (etanercept), it is seen in some patients taking TNF-alpha inhibitors. This mechanism may result from both the metabolic effect of the drug on the body and the improvement of your general condition – reducing inflammation often leads to regaining appetite and less energy consumption by the body destroyed by the disease.
However, remember not to modify the dosage or discontinue the therapy on your own, as this may lead to worsening of the symptoms of the underlying disease. I encourage you to monitor your weight regularly and consult your doctor during your next visit to rule out other causes, such as fluid retention in the body. In the meantime, it is worth paying attention to a balanced diet with a low glycemic index, which will help control body weight without compromising your health.
If you are not able to use a stationary visit, I attach a link to the online teleconsultation:
