Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
All medications have potential side effects that may or may occur but propylthiouracil is not known to be associated with weight gain.
It is possible, because it would help to normalise your thyroid function that weight gain may occur as the thyroid hormone levels become normal but this not due to the propylthiouracil itself.
I hope this helps
