Hello,
These medicines can cause bloating. However, weight gain is not common with these medicines. I suggest you to visit your doctor for your proper checkup. Is it with the treatment or because of some other illness like decompensated cirrhosis or associated thyroidal illness.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
