I dont think it can make you gain weight,but if your doing better you might be eating more,since it goes to the lining of the stomach and keeps acid from getting in ulcers,in can cause indigestion and make you feel a little dizzy and give you headaches,but if it becomes bothersome then i would call my doc,hope this helps
