1. Nifedipine may cause weight changes due to fluid retention, but any direct effect on appetite is rare and generally not clinically significant.
2. There is minimal evidence linking nifedipine to significant appetite changes or weight management issues in long-term use.
3. While nifedipine can cause fluid retention, its impact on appetite or long-term weight control is clinically negligible.
