An observational study from 2010 found that regular users of prescription antihistamines had a higher average body mass index (BMI) than non-users.

The question of *Does buclizine make you gain weight?* is complex, with its effects on appetite being a noted, though not fully understood, side effect [1.3.1, 1.5.3].
