HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Medication can cause weight gain in different ways such as: (1) increasing appetite (2)decreasing fullness (3) change in metabolism (4) affecting activity levels
If you can counteract these effects by monitoring your food and drink intake and maintaining an active lifestyle, it may help to reduce your present weight and prevent any further gain.
I hope this helps
