Are you experiencing weight gain or increased appetite while using Breztri inhaler?
Weight gain and increased appetite aren't commonly reported side effects of Breztri specifically. However, Breztri contains a corticosteroid (budesonide) along with two bronchodilators, and steroids can sometimes affect weight and appetite.
Some MyCOPDTeam members have mentioned sudden weight gain while managing COPD, though this can have various causes. Interestingly, unintended weight loss is actually more common with COPD than weight gain, as the condition increases the energy your body uses for breathing.
If you're noticing significant changes in your weight or appetite since starting Breztri, it's worth discussing with your doctor. They can help determine if the inhaler is contributing to these changes or if something else might be going on.
Keep track of when the changes started and any other symptoms you've noticed - this information will be helpful for your healthcare provider.
