I’m on my second month of Jakafi. I’ve had no side effects and so far my blood counts are good. I have Polycythemia Vera with Jak 2. I have noticed some weight gain. Has anyone else noticed that?

Hi @jerrlin. While you’re waiting for others on Jakafi to respond, I read through the information for Jakafi and it looks as though weight gain can be a common side effect of the medication.

I also did a quick search by typing Weight gain with Jakafi in the top search bar and had several replies pop up regarding weight gain. You might want to read through some of the comments and tag the members if you’d like.

But the good news, it’s working for you and with no side effects! That’s excellent. What is your daily dosage?
