Can the combination of Benicar, fluoxetine, metropolol, colchicine, and Crestor cause weight retention?

  • Q: I have a combination that I take daily of Benicar, fluoxetine, metropolol, colchicine, and Crestor. Can the combination cause weight retention or other problems?
  • A: These medications typically do not cause weight gain and when used in combination don't have any serious interactions. This does not mean that weight gain/retention is not possible to occur from these medications. Every person will react differently to medications and perhaps weight issues is a side effect that you are experiencing. If weight gain is an issue, it may be something that you want to talk to your doctor about. They know your medical history and will be able to give you better advice about the situation.
