A member asked:

Can going off blood pressure medication make you gain weight? i recently was taken off lisinopril and since gained 10lbs.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not typically: Certain hormonal antagonist meds with antihypertensive properties might influence weight but stopping BP meds typically should not drive up weight on its own.
