Face Fat! - Caused by meds, or no??


Question Posted Tuesday February 17 2009, 12:20 am

I'm 15, female, and am very skinny. The only place on my body that's "fat" is my face. My face has always been a bit bigger, but ive been looking at pictures of myself from throught the years and i noticed my cheeks just keep getting fatter! i'm on zoloft (for depression) concerta (for ADD) and ampicillin (for acne). Do any one of these medicines cause weight gain in the face? And what are some things I can do to get rid of my face fat?

How long have you been on Ampicillin? Have you ever used ampicillin before and had a reaction to it?

Is your face swollen or just chubby?

Penicillin and other penicillin antibiotics (ampicillin) can cause facial swelling if you are allergic to them. Talk to your doctor.

Look at the other people in your family, everyone, not just your immediate family. Does anyone else have a face like yours? If yes, it's just because you inherited genes that give you a round face. If your face feels swollen or puffy, then I would say it could be a reaction to medication. I'm pretty sure that those medications don't cause side effects like that tho.
