Hello! Recently, when I was visiting a neurologist, I got the drug memotropil 1200mg for dizziness and in the leaflet I read that m.in. can cause weight gain. I take steroid drugs for asthma and it turned out that I have hashimoto, where after steroid drugs I gained 20 kg, and here I get a drug that causes weight gain, should I take it at all? Yours sincerely! Anna

Weight gain is a possible side effect of Memotropil that may affect up to 1 in 10 people. This means that more than 90% of patients do not experience this effect. Unfortunately, it is impossible to predict in advance who and what side effects will occur. The neurologist prescribed Memotropil because he thought it was the right product and to improve your health situation. If the indicated probability of weight gain is unacceptable to you, then it remains to contact the neurologist again to determine another method of therapy for dizziness.
