Hello Dear. Weight loss in you needs detailed evaluation. It can be without any reason or may be due to some illness. You need to visit a physician who will take complete history regarding any illness in you. Also doctor may advice blood tests, xray etc if indicated.
Oraxil is in a group of drugs called cephalosporin antibiotics. It works by fighting bacteria in your body. Oraxil has no relation to weight gain.
Just for your general knowledge i will tell you a list of conditions that can cause weight loss. Potential causes of unexplained weight loss include:
1. Addison's disease (adrenal insufficiency)
2. Cancer
3. Celiac disease
4. Changes in diet or appetite
5. Changes in sense of smell
6. Changes in sense of taste
7. COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and other lung diseases
8. Cholecystitis (gallbladder inflammation)
9. Dementia
10. Dental problems
11. Depression (major depressive disorder)
12. Diabetes
13. Heart failure
14. HIV/AIDS
15. Hypercalcemia
16. Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid)
17. Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid)
18. Medications
19. Parkinson's disease
20. Peptic ulcer
21. Substance abuse (alcohol, cocaine, other)
22. Tuberculosis
23. Ulcerative colitis
If the doctor says that there is no problem in you, then just take good nutritious food, high protein food etc.

All the best
With warm regards
