Coreg and Gradual Weight Gain

If you are noticing a gradual weight gain while taking Coreg, there are some things that you can do. Suggestions include:
 
  • Eat a heart-healthy diet that includes:
o Lots of fruits, vegetables, grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products
o Lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts
o Few saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, sodium (salt), and added sugars.
  • Participate in regular physical activity for at least 30 minutes a day on most days of the week.
     
  • Limit your intake of alcohol.
     
If the weight gain continues, talk to your healthcare provider. He or she can recommend other lifestyle choices or may switch you to another medicine.
