Intro (0:00 – 0:20)
Hello friends, I’m Dr. Pankaj Karan.
Did you know that some of the medicines we take daily can actually cause weight gain, even if we eat healthy? Let’s look at the Top 10 medications that can lead to obesity.

1. Antidepressants (0:20 – 0:45)
Drugs like amitriptyline, paroxetine, and mirtazapine can increase appetite and slow metabolism → weight gain.

2. Antipsychotics (0:45 – 1:05)
Medicines such as olanzapine, clozapine, and quetiapine are among the biggest culprits for obesity.

3. Mood Stabilizers (1:05 – 1:20)
Lithium and valproate can cause both weight gain and insulin resistance.

4. Diabetes Medications (1:20 – 1:35)
Insulin, sulfonylureas, and pioglitazone help blood sugar, but often increase weight.

5. Steroids (1:35 – 1:50)
Prednisone and other steroids cause fat redistribution, central obesity, and cravings.

6. Hormones (1:50 – 2:05)
Some birth control pills, progestins, and hormonal injections may trigger weight gain.

7. Antihistamines (2:05 – 2:20)
Older allergy medicines like diphenhydramine and hydroxyzine increase appetite and drowsiness.

8. Beta Blockers (2:20 – 2:30)
Atenolol and propranolol can reduce metabolism and exercise tolerance.

9. Anticonvulsants (2:30 – 2:45)
Gabapentin and pregabalin, used for nerve pain, often lead to fluid retention and weight gain.

10. HIV Drugs & Others (2:45 – 3:00)
Older HIV medicines, migraine preventives, and some BP medications can also contribute.

Closing (3:00 – 3:20)
Not everyone gains weight, and sometimes these medications are necessary. If you are worried, never stop on your own—talk to your doctor about alternatives.
