Is Anyone Else Experiencing Weight Gain On Hydroxyurea?
I have ET with jak2 mutation. Have been on Hydrea since August.
I was on hydroxyurea for a year and gained 15 lbs. I did not change my exercise or eating routine. I switched to Besremi in March. I have lost 20 lbs. I don’t know why.
Exactly the opposite, I have been losing 3to 5 lbs per month….
Yes I have gained. Nurse practitioner tells me it's not from the HU, but I have asked in an online support group, and yes some people do gain weight on it.
I gained too.
I lost weight while taking hydrea. The weight loss started right away. I sometimes forgot to eat because I didn't feel the normal hunger signals. I started eating more and gained some of the weight back.
This is another example of how our bodies react differently to medications.
