My father has been taking these medicine from last two years. However, I am seeing that he is eating more than his normal food intake. He has also gained weight.
I have read that some of these meds can cause extreme hunger.
What should I do?
He is taking Triglimprex 2 which can cause weight gain and also extreme hunger if his sugar is getting low in between.
Buy a standard glucometer, check periodic blood sugar and consult an Endocrinologist.
