Is weight gain a concern?
Weight gain can impact an individual's overall health, and it can be a concern when starting a new HIV treatment.*
Certain HIV treatments may cause more weight gain than other treatments. Some individuals can gain more weight on certain treatments than others. Always talk to your doctor before making any changes to your treatment regimen.

patients had to stop taking SYMTUZA® due to weight gain in two key studies.†
*Long-term consequences of weight gain are not known. As research continues in this area, it's important to have ongoing conversations with your healthcare provider.
†Across 2 clinical trials, one patient taking SYMTUZA® experienced treatment-related weight gain. The average weight gain over 48 weeks was between 3.13 lbs (1.42 kg) and 3.84 lbs (1.75 kg) in 1,125 patients in the SYMTUZA® group, and ~1 lb (.45 kg) for 741 patients in the control group. The long-term impact of SYMTUZA® on weight has not been studied in clinical trials.
