Does Inbrija cause hair loss or weight gain?

Category: Inbrija

While hair loss and weight gain have not been reported as side effects of Inbrija in clinical trials, patients may experience weight gain due to the therapy’s potential to cause impulse control disorders, including compulsive eating. Hair and weight loss are reported as potential side effects of the therapy on its European label. Patients should talk with their healthcare team if such events occur while they are taking Inbrija.
