Hi,

Drug-induced weight. As you know this drug is a steroid agonist of progestin and all steroid are responsible in one way or there to gain weight by interfering with the lipid and carbohydrate metabolism.

You need to divide your meals into small and regular intervals that will keep your metabolism constant and prevent further weight gain. Take a more fibrous diet like fruits and vegetables than oils and junk foods.

Also, take a large amount of water and make a regular exercise schedule.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
