Brief Answer:
ramipril may cause weight gain

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

ramipril may indeed cause weight gain but this is not a common complaint. Your doctor cannot predict whether you're going to gain weight or not. You can only find out by trying! Even if you do gain some weight, stopping the drug will help to lose the excess weight. Exercising and eating healthy will help as well.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.
Kind Regards,
