Does atenolol make you gain weight

1 answer

There is some evidence to suggest that atenolol, a type of beta blocker medication commonly used to treat high blood pressure and other cardiovascular conditions, may contribute to weight gain in some individuals. This weight gain is thought to be due to the drug's effect on slowing down the metabolism and reducing physical activity levels in some people.

However, not everyone who takes atenolol will experience weight gain, and the extent of weight gain can vary from person to person. It is important to discuss any concerns about weight gain or other side effects with your healthcare provider, as they may be able to recommend alternative medications or lifestyle changes to help mitigate any unwanted effects.
