Brief Answer: vaso dilators can cause weight gain Detailed Answer: Hi Thanks for using XXXXXXX Yes, antihypertension drugs like vaso dilators can cause weight gain. Usually this will be temporary.

So kindly let me know about which drug you want information. Hope this helps you. I will be waiting for the reply. Regards
