Brief Answer:
Does not cause weight gain

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Rapaflo contains silodosin. I have gone through the side effect profile and it is not known to cause weight gain.

You could do the following to help in weight loss
1. Check thyroid profile. Hypothyroidism is a common reason to cause weight gain
2. avoid food rich in sugars, carbohydrate and far
3. exercise daily. cardiovascular exercise like jogging , swimming and cycling are the best
4. eat regularly and on time. Do not skip meals

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
