Finax (finasteride) is highly unlikely to cause weight gain but there are some individuals who experience weight gain with Finax. I would suggest you to consult your dermatologist for alternative therapy if you think your weight gain is significant. If it is not much, you can give lifestyle modifications like diet and exercise a try.
Hope this helps you in making the decision, Thanks.
