Can certain medicines cause lots of weight gain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Some medicines can stimulate your appetite and/or make you retain fluid - the net effect of either is weight gain. Let me be clear though: not all medicines do this! each medicine should be considered on its own merits/risk of adverse reaction.
