Hello,
Like other drugs elleste duet, which is a combination hormone drug, has some side effects and one of the most common side effect is weight gain. The weight gain is primarily due to fluid retention. Let me also assure that the weight gain is not permanent and will be there only till you take the tablet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
