Does Taking Triamterene Cause Weight Gain?

is weight gain a common side effect of taking triamterene been on it almost three months. I had a sudden hearing loss and I am on this medication as the Dr. feels there may be fluid in my inner ear - there was a drop in my hearing loss and after being on this for 30 days there was an improvement so I am continuing treatment.
