Most antipsychotics cause weight gain and Zytolix P is also one of the drugs that cause the same. Zytolix P induces sleep and causes lethargy in patients due to which the physical activity gets reduced, leading to weight gain. Since weight loss is difficult for most people, emphasis should be paid on preventing weight gain using lifestyle modifications comprising a change of diet and the addition of physical activity in routine.
