Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Does Ecotrin cause weight gain as im 58yrs & desperately tryin to lose weight. I m abt 80kgs my breasts r engorged & causing me discomfort so much dat I can t do normal exercises like skipping or jumping. I use to be 56kg all th time. I haven t tested my thyroids as its too much a mission with out health system who mostly cares for HIV people. Going to a clinic or hospital is too risky as TB is rife. I haven t been to a GP for abt 15yrs & only for trauma. My mom died with Myocardinal infration. My father died at 82yr. I think my breasts are causing me to hav rapid heartbeats when I lay down. I ve tried takin deep breaths & contracting all my muscles wen this happens. I dnt drink alcohol or smoke or take drugs. I eat healthy & cook with coconut oil etc. Many thanks for yr reply. Regards Marinicole
I want to know why are you taking ecotrin? If you have some other illnesses like diabetes or hypertension? No, this drug does not cause weight gain, we have to look for other causes as well like thyroid. I need you to get tested for thyroid and hormonal assays as well since in post menopausal women they also get deranged.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Sameen Bin Naeem, General & Family Physician
