Does Humira cause weight gain?
• Q: Would the fact that I am taking Humira cause me to gain weight or at least make it very difficult to lose weight? I work out 1 hour per day 4 times a week and focus on eating about 1500 calories each day. I am a 36 year old athletic female, yet I cannot lose weight. • A: Weight gain is not a common side effect of Humira (adalimumab). Any rapid weight gain, especially if accompanied by swelling in the hands, feet, or ankles, should be reported to your healthcare provider right away. This may be a sign of a serious side effect. Consult your healthcare provider or nutritionist for any unusual weight gain.
