Hi,
Regarding your weight gain. Follihair tablet is prescribed for several hair problems including hair loss.
Follihair is a combination of minerals and trace elements.
It may cause gastrointestinal symptoms but it does not cause weight gain. So if you are gaining weight, you should increase your physical activity and if possible talk to your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
