I have not seen anything on the official "side effects" indicating that it causes weight gain. However, from personal experience, I tend to believe that it may.

On July 1st, I started a 1300 calorie a day diet in efforts to lose weight. This was going very well in that I lost 15 pounds by Sept 1st. I starting taking Solodyn around Sept 4th and here I am, over a month later, and I have not lost another pound. I am still doing the 1300 cal a day diet, so nothing has changed there. The only thing that has changed was that I started the Solodyn. So it's more like my dieting is just a fight to keep from gaining, because I have only mearly maintained my weight since. I hope that makes sense. I can't imagine how much weight I would have gained over the last month had I not been dieting!

On a side note, the Solodyn along with a prescription face wash and a couple of prescription topical gels has totally cleared up my face within a month. It's a 12 week plan that I am on, so I'm going to stick out it just to make sure the acne problem does not return. In the meantime, I guess I will stick to my diet in order to battle the weight gain that I suspect the Soldyn of trying to inflict on me!

To lose more weight you would have to keep decreasing calorie intake, its not from the medication. Solodyn should not make you gain weight, the only time antibiotics have shown to cause any weight gain is from long term usage (which still isn't proven) and that would be 1+ years.

Weight gain is not a commonly reported side effect of Solodyn, but it is possible for some individuals to experience this side effect. If you have noticed a significant increase in weight after starting Solodyn, it is best to talk to your doctor. They can help determine whether the weight gain is related to the medication or if there are other factors contributing to the change.

Additionally, antibiotics like Solodyn can affect the balance of bacteria in the gut, which can lead to changes in metabolism and digestion. This can potentially contribute to weight gain or other side effects. Your doctor may also consider other factors such as your diet, physical activity, and overall health when evaluating the cause of the weight gain.

It is important to follow your doctor's instructions when taking Solodyn and to report any side effects you experience. If you have concerns about weight gain or other side effects, your doctor may be able to adjust your medication or recommend alternative treatments.
