Is spironolactone to blame for my weight gain?

March 1, 2016
Asked By:Cynthia Jane in Edgerton, WI

I have been taking spironolactone for about 8 months now and have noticed some weightgain. Read the side effects of spiro and it doesn't say anything about weight gain being a side effect, however I have noticed others saying they gained weight while taking it. Is it possible spiro could be causing my weight gain?
